[popcorn balls]

Absolutely terrible Would have been nice with an intact roof

Vert nice but can you spot the cheat.

Vert nice but can you spot the cheat.

You mean the rear corners,sills and arches that have been welded on lower?

I can appreciate the work thats gone into it and that everyone has there own taste,but personally I would have left the roof alone and the extra low welding job.I don't like the wheel choice much either.

I do think it looks kind of cool though and if I saw it at a show I would be looking at it for sure.

Not my cuppa Tea at all.
Not a fan of the body mods or wheels. May look nicer when its finnished.

 

[mjknight71]

poor iccle panel.......

 

[clyde]

Looks quite cool i think, but the lower body mods can look odd in the flesh. Maybe the Targa will draw the eye away from the "skirtz".

 

[lard]

wow - looks good, like the front and side, but in paint the rear may look too bulky and the lights appearing to be in the middle of the panel? Would be nice to see it when in paint

 

[Guest]

the stance and rims are classy, im 50/50 on the roof :| .

if they grafted an MR2 removable glass roof it would be awesome!

 

[easy]

Its a great stance but the roof bit is ****

 

[lard]

Inspiration? :shock: :lol:

 

[VWAIRCOOLED]

Inspiration? :shock: :lol:

Looks like a citroen 2CV on steroids :shock:

 

[maddog]

Not my cuppa tea! Unusable in everyday driving and no doubt leaks big time like mine :lol:

 

[AxlFoley]

Any one remember the Yellow split that had extended cills and rear end, it was in Volksworld a few years back, I loved that!

Not for me. No doubt a lot of effort and work has gone into this and each to his own, but this like so many custom (as opposed to kustom) jobs seem to include mods that have been done because they can rather than because it improves the lines of the vehicle. But that is always subjective, presumably the owner thinks differently to me and that is what makes the world go round! As for the 'cheat', well it has been done before and personally, when I have spotted it I can't take my eyes off those 'wrong' proportions. Not entirely against the wheel choice though. Oh, and Kustoms, although Barris built some great stuff, some was (imho) rather oddball, but a lot of more recent stuff, well it just flows so well, the mods accentuate the lines and work together. But that's opening another can of worms! So back to the original quesion, sorry but no I don't really like it. Neither do I like Thump!Thump! style targa beetles or even (shock horror) Porche Targa tops. It's neither one thing or the other and they just look wrong, the 'B' pillar is far too wide and the whole roof looks horrible. There, said it. A flat 6 Porche and I think it's ugly. All of which is rather academic, 'cos I don't have the money to buy one anyway. And rather off topic. Sorry.

If he sticks to an original PV colour and doesnt cover it in silly stickers or graphics he could pull it off. Hes not over modded it i.e. scoops, arch extensions etc and it would probably have worked better without the targa though it needs to be seen finished.

I like it when someone does something different and this certainly is different.

Bays (earlies or lates) arent as rare as some would think and theres room for alsorts in the scene.
