It isn't the same guy..
If I had the money I would have done the similar with a bronzit 4dr by now, but dropped a supercharged M50 under the bonnet.. BBB had the prime candidate, long since fragged

The guy signed up on our rat-look.com forums yesterday. That car has some serious presence. And that stance....

I do like the look and as jhonno said a supercharge M50 lump in a rat look would kind of appeal to me.
Dont think i could live with it though i am a sleeper man.
Bronzit chrome 4 door S50'd with leather and bbs's would be my ideal car. Maybe next

It'd make a great sleeper imo.. I would rock it daily, you could park the thing anywhere and not care about someone smacking it etc

It's too obvious to be a sleeper IMO. I like time warp cars with really nice interiors and oem looks with BIG power.
Just like my current project really.

Perfectly stated.
I just do not get this sort of thing. It appears to be 1) find/make a complete POS; 2) lower it to such an extent that suspension geometry is completely compromised; 3) stick incredibly expensive wheels on it that are painted in some lurid colour; and 4) clamp some roof racks on and load it up with tat (preferably rusted).
Maybe I'm missing something?
