The only taste that guy has is in his mouth. That's the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm glad it's not an '88 because I'd have thoughts of it being the one I used to own.

The bidding ended just north of $1200, but alas, the reserve was not met --- maybe it will be re-auctioned with some further custom mods...

I think he might as well go all the way and put it on top of a 10 foot high monster truck chasis and engine.

What it looks like to me is that the guy wanted to make his own style of car but didn't have the education to be a car designer.
If you toned down the front bumper and put a roll pan on the rear then finished it it wouldn't be so bad, but that front, MY GOD.
There is just no way that he has 50k into that car though.
Ferari hatch (that looks like it fits real good) $100 from a junk yard
Aluminum tape $100 from the local hardware store
Postar board $50 from Hobby Lobby
Total $250 plus what the car is worth, maybe 1k

Too bad I don't know the guy. I could've helped him finish/ fix it dso that it looged somewhat good. LOL! If I was able to work on it, I would design the rest of it to look alot better than what it is at the moment,and the first thing to go is the hood. That's not going to fit into this design theme. I mean,yeah it looks nice on regular unmodified models of 3rd gens, but not on this one wiht those body parts.


My resume-
I have about 30 hours on modifing car appeareances in video games, and have suddenly decided to design parts for my mom's 95 Corolla (which we all love). I am very creative and I have lots of ideas, such as for the hood,heh.
