What the E36 M3.

Engine bay is pretty..... that;s about it.

It looks like someone tried to make a... Mater?

I'm guessing early 90's build?

It's pretty something, all right.

stored and not run in many years... wonder what it looks like now

and that's a Nailhead

My thoughts exactly.

I don't mind the front end, in a totally 1950's/60's over-the-top customizing type way, but it doesn't look like they made it past the engine compartment. And the Iroc wheels just cheapen the look.

COOTERPUNCH! That's horrible.

Needs scallops and more candy (or deeeeep black) paint with period correct wheels, then it would be an interesting period piece of customizing.

Reminds me of this one:

Looks like someone really wanted their 67 Ford to be a 32.

In reply to ransom:

Dafuq is that?

I like it except for the front end and the iroc wheels.

Definently feels like something from a mid 90's issue of Truckin'

In reply to RealMiniDriver:

I have no idea. For some reason that image crops up from time to time. I think I googled for "swollen red car" to find it, after failing with "botox car"...

Most of the ugliness of this truck is in the headlights and taillights (or lack of them...is this thing street legal?)

Maybe we should all email him to ask "Is it still available?" He's going to ignore them any ways...

put the front lip back to stock and change the wheels. Might be nice then.

This. On the whole, while it's not my personal taste, I wouldn't say it was terrible. But the IROC wheels very much ruin it. Like they just ran out of money and slapped whatever they found laying around on it. Very cheap looking.

reminds me of that porsche with the bondo front end made to look like its all swollen

The tail lights are in the roll pan.

This truck reminds me of an 80's Chevy near my g/f's house. No where near as over the top as this one, but lowered a fair amount and late C4 tail lights in a roll pan in place of the rear bumper. Over the years, I've watched this truck slowly disintegrate as all of the Bondo used to build it has been falling off.

No thank you.

Disagree with those saying a '90's build... this is trying to ape the 50's/'60's lead sled kustom style.

It would look a lot better with the rest fully implemented (maybe supremes/whitewalls/scallop paint, etc.)

As-is it's an awkward mash up.

Well, at least it's not a small block chevy stuffed between the fenders. I'd like it better with an FE or 385-series, though.
