Kinda square looking. I'm only about 14 miles from there but I'm heading 3hrs the opposite direction in the morning.

well I'm not 100% convinced on the frt end , it's not entirely terrible....
-the back looks good, and I do like the red mono-chrome paint treatment.

Wonder where the seats came from??? (looks kind Fordish [?])

That front end looks great on a late 80's Monte Carlo. Not so good on a TR7.

Yah, pretty sure it's a Spider, front is ugly, back isn't so bad, at least compared to the front (faint praise). The usual over spray on the rad from the outside paint job. All that work on the outside and absolutely nothing done under the bonnet. If you can't do a better job than the Lanocha Racing front end why bother.

Maybe he was trying to turn it back into a TR6?

Looks like the Chevy Monte Carlo SS from the 80's. Ugly!!

I like the back, a sort of modern upgrade that could have come out of the factory, in my opinion though, the front is vile, the complete lack of curves and the infantile styling of the gaping mouth are too much.
I think however that it is well executed and praise must go for the standard of work to the person who undertook it, but beautiful it is not.

They should've removed the front bumper from the shipping crate before they bolted it onto the car! [:D]
