Not very realistic....not a welder in sight
Quite clever however not to my taste other then the blacked out headlamps and grille, quite a mean look :twisted:

Re: Any one seen this Make Over!!?
Just thought it looked retro and modern at the same time! Shows that the Marina can be up to date if you want it to be
You can modify the older cars more easily and they are cooler than having some Saxo which every one has!!
I remember getting loads of jokes about my Marina when I told my college friends about it, until I drove it in the first time! Made their cars look like poo!
Mainly because it was in very good nick and secondly they had visions of a standard car there Grandad may have, instead it was a TC Jubilee!!
That was 20 odd years ago and I think I will get a similar reaction from many at work now!
I think a lot of kids today will like a Marina if it had a look like that as it is different and not common.

The only problem when the young guys start liking them, is they pay silly money and push up the prices. "Old skool" rwd Escorts and Corollas are going for silly money these days, and now the less desirable cars like Chevettes, Avengers and Marinas are starting to follow suit.

Re: Any one seen this Make Over!!?
Nice idea, I like the look of how the new dodge challenger has retained the styling cues of the old one, its nice to see that a new car can be made without that horrid jelly-mold styling. Maybe we should give this guy a call to do us all a new retro-modern marina design.....
