It looks unfinished to me. Needs paint and the chassis needs some POR on it as well!

12/10 for effort.
Looks wise not my cup of tea. Hard to criticise as its way better than i could have done - but if i had to decide wether to buy one then id pass.

Its fine but I can't really understand why he has not painted ‘anything’ including the chassis. The finish of the bodywork is not high enough to
leave unpainted as it's clearly rippled at the corners. It would be best I think in yellow.
Otherwise quite an achievement.

bodyworks a bit scabby, chassis needs painting, but a very nice job though!
the body work is a little more difficult to make that it is on a 7!

The more i look at it the more i dont like it. I assume this is its first showing and not yet finished.
Really dont like the back lights. Lets hope the italian police dont mistake it for a Ferrari replica (ref PPC article).

Its pretty impressive....I would assume its not finished?!?!.....I would assume he has built it up, then will take it appart to paint etc before the
final assembly..
Wouldnt say no to it once its tidied up!

I'm impressed - the guy has put loads of effort into that 
As above just needs finishing

putting a lot of effort into someting doesn't mean the end product is going to be good or look nice.
Unless I am mistaken, you can still see the hammer marks on the panels to beat them to shape - that is impressive work to get it to that shape
although I have never done - but it doesn't look particulalry nice.
If the appearance is flawed, that no amount of effort will fix that, other than redoing the panels.
Sorry but I voted NO.

I quite like it, inc the rear lights. I do think the bonnet is styles on a vette
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

i like the backend and the front lights etc, but not the bonnet. Or the side intakes. And as said, though the bodywork is a phenominal effort its not
good enough to leave like that.
