Fair play for thinking outside the box, but bloody hell what a mess! There's a article on the Mail on this, the chicken wire grilles :hahaha:

£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)...

Must admit it looks 'Total Pants' at least spend the money getting the bodywork sorted,bottom line its a bodge job :D 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' :hahaha: :hahaha:

The end result is pretty laughable but it accomplishes what he set out to do, which is to look LIKE a Zonda.

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