    I really like this but you wouldn't want to scratch the floor. The only thing I would change is the wheels to a 5-spoke or something like that with the centre being black or red with the lip being polished.

    Tell me what you guys think??

            If it's an aesthetic you like, I think you can expect more of this minimalism as electric car retrofits come to the fore.

              Sorry but it's too clinical for me.

              I like MK1's because they are old. They have character (they break down) and wants (they leak stuff) and they creak and groan like any 40 year old does when they get out of bed.

              If I wanted a comfortable modern car I'd have a MK2.

                    Seems kind of useless to me.

                    Can't really be driven, is unroadworthy and unraceworthy.

                      Pretty sure it can be driven.

                        All that weight saving with fibreglass and bondo... This car has obviously had some serious coin spent on it, it's just all in the wrong places. It is completely impractical and serves no purpose beyond being a trailer queen. Probably why it has no radiator and fuel lines, it's designed to drive a total of 6 metres when it mounts and unmounts the trailer

                            May not be my personal goal but this is a fantastic execution of the scene for a lot of guys, an frankly anyone who loves cars can appreciate that as a stand-a-lone achievement

                              It's very pretty, but is clearly a trailer queen. I have nothing but admiration and appreciation for all the blood sweat and tears that goes into building something of that standard, but honestly I would spend more time admiring the daily driver with all it's ragged edges in the car park.

                              Cars are built to be driven.

                              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
