parthiban Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 That looks awful, much prefer the Ferrari in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMARTLY Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 He won't get enough for it to restore the Ferrari. So he copied a chassis in the picture but then took away the safety bit the roll cage round the cabin as it looked too big - that might have saved a life down the line - muppet.

adam_r Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Oh my! Its a complete bag of crap. The finish on the body work is beyond awful, the engine install is pants, the interior is diabolical.. Just NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 So we all agree then it's utter pants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 So having had a quick look through the original thread, it seems there's been quite a lot of interesting engineering gone on which has to be commended: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/united-kingdom/184156-jag-v12.html However I'm a bit staggered by how hard everyone has come down on some people who have had somewhat negative comments! http://www.clubscuderia.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?45403-My-garage-looks-cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parthiban Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 For some weird reason to me it looks like a cake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Isn't that what they call cow crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Isn't that what they call cow crap. Not sure, I meant an actual cake. If I asked a cake maker to make me a cake of a Zonda, I would expect it to look something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I couldn't agree more.... I mean if it's a body kit of a Zonda it's the worst kit ever...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parthiban Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Some great quotes: The front is not good and i want to remake it, the surface needs a great deal of work. In Bahrain I hired this guy to do the body and it didn't quite turn out the way i wanted it. A factory made the rear section and the engine cover and its awesome. However the doors and the bonnet need reworking (Not starting from scratch). I really can't work this out, is it serious or tongue in cheek? The real problem is others fuelling the fire!

Tango Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Should have left it in Bahrain. I assume the Company he worked for paid to ship his personal stuff home, or was he stupid enough to think it was worth shipping himself?

Rich Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 I know, I'm just humouring you! All the youngsters say it now so when I hear/read it I automatically assume they mean it's good! Although having said that a guy who used to work here that's a couple of years older than me said it all the time, I used to think to myself how old are you!! Anyway, the car looks s***e!

parthiban Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 This thing was in the metro this morning, and seemingly in the DM as well! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2921570/Amateur-mechanic-spends-15-000-five-years-transforming-1990-Ford-Granada-exact-replica-1million-Zonda-supercar.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 There's no getting away from it that's fuggly..... The bodywork looks like what you would expect after the crash, engine bay is an amateur nest of poor wiring and the exhausts welding..... Well if the chassis is like that then good luck.

He looks so proud in the photo, getting a slating in the comments though! He's getting torn apart on PH and ClubScuderia as well Can't work out why he'd allow this publicity, just comes across as completely deluded..........
