I get the idea of it being a waste of a coupe. But honestly I think its great to see out side of the box thinking. I think its great that someone is doing something so different and I honestly can see past it all and can see that it would possibly look good when completed. Perhaps even with a full width fairlane rear light setup. Bit of good old aussie stuff ya allness (not a real word I know but meh haha) here. Would seriously think of it as a project but to many cars as is...

With things like these, you just hope that the Coupe was in such a sorry state to start with...
It eases the pain. It is funny though, when you have Coupes with the guts cut out of them for drag cars or show cars that are admired, yet this is a waste. Mind you, the BA front just doesn't work at all...

Who's to say it was a good shell to start with?
This persons foresight may have saved another one from being lost forever, who knows. |

I like it ... i had an XB carted off to the wreckers in 98' the shell was perfect ...
I can't justify ever buying another with the ridiculous prices they are asking so i say good on him... |

I will give the guy credit for something... this this is blowing up all over social media and forums. He has certainly gotten alot of attention..... even tho 99% of it is negative.

I really dont like it. But i give him credit for having the balls on trying something really different! Remember it's his car/project, he can do what he damn well likes. But good luck in selling that

I honestly cant see it being pulled off, but can someone have a serious go at photoshopping the finished product?
