I came across this while on a wander around the web:

I'm not sure if that's cool Or ugly

But either way it's ace!

Ugly? No, this is what happens when you simmer ugly into ugly concentrate.

I really like it, but personally I'd absolutely have change the lights on the front otherwise I'd want to set fire to it every time I saw it.

Apart from the pointy indicators etc I like the front......it's got a proper Vw beach buggy vibe. Tbh it's mostly the large diameter tube work bulging out of the sides and those stupid roof bars that ruin the look IMO

Quite funky that it looks like there might be a snorkel incorporated into the tube work though.

wtf is it based on? Kinda got a Manta Ray buggy front end going on ( and I hate those). Apart from that I like it.

Im guessing a vitara, yeah it is, just checked the link.

I've always thought it would be a cool idea to build a sand rail style tube frame on a Vit, perfect base for it! Baloo who used to be on the Suzuki forums a lot stared one with a rover v8 I think. Not sure if it ever got finished though.

Found a few pics of it. Looks like he might have changed the engine choice at some point though. Wonder if he ever did finish it????

The indicators look like sore nipples or really, really angry zits. Get rid of those and it'd be ok if the headlights didn't stick out so much, they make it look like a frog that's had compressed air shot up it's jëëp.

With more tasteful headlights and indicators that don't look like warts, I'd like it. You might have a point about the tube work (it's a bit too much, especially on the back) and looking at the rear I don't like the rear lights much either.

I like the rest of it lots. But the lights - no. Tube work bumpers - no. I don't mind the rollcage though. Kinda suits it, I think.
