Got as far as this, before I gave up on the retards on there.

I'm sure Zonda owners all over the world are raging over this replica.

hahahahaha fuck me this guy is absolutely deluded, seriously no other word for it
ok fair play for having a go but my god the "car" is a death trap on wheels and bodywork is shocking, i have seen a better finish on supermarket kiddy rides you find near the tills
no wonder its not road legal, ebay ad for 10k- lunatic
just hilarious how he defends it to the hilt even though hes not a professional welder and people on PH who are welders an fabricators tell him its shit- he still says their wrong, fucking idiot
dont even get me started on the dogshit exhaust welding

Did you see the Wish-bones? In his thread on Piston heads he even says they snapped the first time he drove the car!! And all of the welding is pretty much to the same poor standard..
I get the impression nobody told him that his MIG welder requires gas!

as a former panel beater the welds on them were beyond dogshit, didnt look strong enough to support its own weight let alone a car
dear god iv just seen his attempt at wrapping the dash in leather, christ alive my nan has less wrinkles, plus hes done it while its still in car?? i worry about people sometimes, i really do. Surely he got to a point and thought to himself "hmmm this looks a bit shit, think i should give up now"
