A little too rich to ever be in my fleet, but look at the fit & finish, nice car.
OK points off for the shoulder harness.....

I think side pipes look great on: AC Cobra's, Corvette's - factory pipes only, and any Lotus Seven variation.
The rest bring back the 1970's and those custom van's that everyone had.
I don't really care for those side pipes. Am I the only one?
I agree, ditch the side pipes and at least paint the wheels some other color.Still on the fence about the autotragic....
Nice looking car, but I have to say, with the great attention to detail and all the money put into it, I think the stock S10 wheels were an odd choice.
If you are going to put that engine in a car like that, why not go ahead and put in a manual tranny?
Agreed, manuals are more fun, but don't autos shift faster? No clutch linkage headaches either.
BTW that is one longass van!

Agree on the side pipes - not a fan on that car.
I think the wheels look ok on there though - they sorta look like they could've came on the car other than the color.
compare those wheels to the stock steelies from TR4 / TR6. i like the subtlety of them. i wouldn't have done the shaker hood scoop. other than that, hells yeah i'd drive it.
Never liked side pipes either.
and what did that V-8 emblem come off of?

omfg i need that van!
wow and i thought my van was a bit much! but yeah nice car, but it just didn't 'do it for' me....
That van is AWESOME, (if you didn't mind never getting laid again, ever.)
As for the TR-4, I actually don't mind the side pipes. They're cool in a '70s hotrod kind of way. But the auto kills it for me, and I think the hood looks goofy with the factory TR-4 bulge, and the V8 sticking out.
Man, I've always loved old tr-4's and tr-6's.
Wish I had the money!

Are you kidding? Do you know how many 15 year old girls you can fit in one of those????
I bet the 'oh E36 M3" handle gets used a lot in that car.. if you can reach it under full acceleration
I normally don't care for the side pipes either, on anything. But they add just the right ammount of chrome to match with the bumpers and look tasteful. The chevy wheels don't bother me either, I want to run some 16" crown vic steelies on my old muscle car and power coat them white. Over all, very well done.
My only gripe would be using drums in back. If I was putting that much effort into something, it would get 4 disks. But thats just me. Overall I really like it and I think the side pipes and those wheels work well.
TR4s have always been one of my favorite cars. I just had a conversation with someone in Indiana this week about one, but ended up not getting it.
This one looks great and while I don't like some of the things (auto tranny, drums brakes for example) overall it looks great. I especially like the hood shot with the sky reflections on all of those BRG curves. The hole and scoop were nicely done. I really (really) don't like the choice of wheel color. It just makes me think of rust. A nice brushed aluminum color would have ft much better IMO.
...but I'd still take it in a heartbeat!

It does make for a lot of curves on the hood.
