I just bought this gen 1 for 5k, i reckon it looks fucken mad.



every quarter panel has been re-built and extended give it

a wide body of about 10-15 cm, and the front has been completely

re-built, and the whole thing is done in metal.



tell me what you all think, i like it, i was wondering what

other people thought.



EDIT: Made your pic smaller.

Why does it say daytona on the side though? Is it my daytona's hotter and older brother?

Widebody is always cool, but the front end is a little too big for me. I'm sure it looks good in person though.

I don't know why it says DAYTONA on it, it says it on the back aswell.

the bodywork is custom so i guess the guy who built the body must

heve modeled it around the other daytona models



here are some other photos

I always thought about building a metal widebody FB but that thing has a nice look except the front.If the lower opening's were bigger like the middle one it wouldn't look bad.I love that mean stance tho. Thats the first all steel widebody I have seen and I like it.Where are you from?I see someone put porsche front lights on it too.
