    Came across this on ebay. Worst custom classic I seen in a while. I have a p6 which isn't the prettest car to start with but this is something else!!! Have you any pictures of classics that are the same model as yours but something very wrong has been done to it!:eek:

    What's wrong with that one?
    Apart from the colour and that spare wheel...

    now i actually really like that, but think its needs to lose 3 or 4 inches from the middle to make up for the welded up rear doors, then i think it'll be supercool:D

    What ever you into lads, I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I just cant see it!!
    Forgot to add that the wheel on the boot is actually quite normal for a p6. Other major problems are that the engine doesn't work and that it has no cover...so it cant move and its always raining...Nice;)

    i like that Rover too...not keen on the colour...the spare on the boot would have been original; though..(Denovo run-flat tyres I think originally...)

    hate the rest of them although the workmanship and imaguination is terrific..

    Think thats whats wrong in this country, would explain the lack of people building hot rod/customs , i said building not buying.:eek:..People are a bit wary of being different, they're afraid that some will laugh at them ..so they wont risk it...Shame really...:(

    you guys should take a look over on www.irish-customs.com, there are a few custom cars & rods being built here, more than you'd think. True, there's a few being bought from overseas but there is a small but enthusiastic group of custom car builders in the country. (I include myself in that statement, see my signature ;) )

    With ya there Trev on that one, i'm not having a go , i just wish more poeple wher enthused about rods n' classics as a whole .I know theres no comparison with the uk or usa , i dont believe it ever was an Irish thing...just the odd (I mean "odd") bloke in the shed putting a rv8 into a escort or what not...
    But to make a point, I recently expressed an interest in a car which some guy had started and got fed up...after sevral attempts to arrange a meeting i finally got hold of him and to my horror was told that he had got the car scrapped, body ,engine everything gone....this unfortunately "IS" an Irish thing,..just dump it...very sad, another classic gone from our roads..:mad::mad::(
