Nice build/work, but i think they cut too much...its not proportional...

Dino,
Considering your latest cut and shut, did you type that with a straight face??

I was thinking the same thing.
Is it just me or does the side profile of the rear look like a lada?

Good one...
I'd have kept it a couple of inches longer...my chop was for fitting tires, if its ugly and it works, I'm happy...(it ain't ugly

No offence to anyone, but the look of that chop is utterly fugly!
WHY? And please don't say departure angle.

Keith AKA Biggles, the guy that commisioned it, is a unique character.
If any one can remember the guy that did the 2003 OBC in a burgandy 90 with flying helmet, from the UK, then that's him.
Keith wanted a very comfortable road car: air con, leather plenty room
he also wanted a Rover, god knows why
And he liked the idea of being the first one to do it.
A full size P38 won't fit most of the ss over here
JF
Why not!?

In some of the thumbnails, it looks from the rear like a peugeot 306!!
I think it is a good thing, functional and competitive yet a good road car. Well done.

I like it except I think he has gone about 3-4" to far on the bob cut.
