I'm pretty sure it's being butchered and turned into one of these sh#tmobiles:



I swear, there ought to be some sort of test or something in order to qualify for ownership of a P-car.

I don't know. It looks like they have some high end work going on in there. Maybe they'll turn out something great.

The guy scratching his head in the first picture does not exactly instill me with total confidence.

ROFLMAO I agree.



I hope its not a CGT conversion. The rear bumper looks different than what usually gets put on those monstrosities. Did you take these? When can we see the finished product?

Yeah you're right Steve... It is still different... hmmm...maybe its a custom job based off of that widebody as a starting platform.

Regardless, TechArt or not, it is some sort of hack job. I don't understand the constant desire by some to ruin some of the best lines ever produced in the automotive industry. A couple subtle cosmetic mods are ok but things like these hideous wide-body hacks are awful and really no different than some of the ricey crap driving around.
