Is this a real "60/70th" thing or a waist of time ?

i've just vomited.

Thanks for that. :lol:

It's a bit like these documentaries on A&E on a Friday night - I know it goes on, but really I don't need to see it.

I should imagine it dates from the late '70s to mid '80s as a 'custom car' - was probably going to have an orange metalflake paintjob and a chain link steering wheel. Anyone who dd it since then should be locked up for their own good, and that of the community.

Horrid, just horrid.

Oh, and I don't like it much. :lol:

Hmm I am thinking a date of build closer to the 90's or something as it has the fuel injection floor pressings. I bet the shell itself is a bitsa. It wouldn't be quite so bad if they hadn't used all that square tubing in the sides and actually put something that resembled a bed floor in the bed of it, but as it is it is rather rat rod-ish.
