Re: Zonda replica
£15,000 spent?
Not wanting to be horrible, but it looks like he spent about 1% of that on the bodywork.
He'd have been much better off spending his money on a kit of some kind.
People have built Ultima's for not much more than £15k. And a 7 replica would have been great with that budget.
Not terribly surprised his engine blew if his idea of "finished" looks like that - although I'm one to talk, my SJ looks like a heap, but it's mechanically spot on (except the bits I recently broke with my leadfoot)...

Re: Zonda replica
Must admit it looks 'Total Pants' at least spend the money getting the bodywork sorted,bottom line its a bodge job 
some of these kitcars that you can buy folks spend the best part of the project money on getting the exterior looking like the real deal and prehaps then have a smaller engine with a load exhaust system to try and emulate a V12 but at least they have tried.
But when you are a Suzuki 4x4 owner most folks tend to spend the money on the mechanicals side of things and leave the body as standard looking like 'Total Pants'

Re: Zonda replica
The end result is pretty laughable but it accomplishes what he set out to do, which is to look LIKE a Zonda.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Apparently its not road legal in the UK, I wonder why he hasn't put it through IVA.
