Odd Modifications Thread

[TexRex]

Pro Street Pontiac J2000; bass boat paintjob is a requirement. Ten points if you can guess in what decade this picture was snapped.

I know you like vintage Tex, but what about having both of these?

They're not doing anything for me.

...they're growing on me.

Athlete's foot grows on you too, but I don't think anyone finds it particularly desirable.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Yeah yeah....

I will guess '90's. I was going for 80's but I feel like there is a hidden trap.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Not sure if this should be in the odd or tasteful thread. But I'm loving a "safari"-ed up 991 911. Especially in the Rothman's livery.

those short shorts on the men screams 80's America.... Sooo early 2000's Australia?
Edit: NVM, i just noticed the Camera's. If not 80s, then very early 90s.

I was thinking more Flyover States circa 2008.

Careful, Aussies are crazy enough to tangle with kangaroos.

And that was a rhetorical question because it's so obviously, painfully '80s. Rick Dobbertin debuted it in 1986 and that picture is probably from when it was making the rounds, between magazine cover shoots.

Oof.

I want this:

It's been built by Brad Daberti and is running a Toyota V8 out of a NASCAR. It's also supposed to come to Forza at some point too.

That does make me want to see how a more modern version of the Pikes Peak Tacoma would look. Definitely neat, but I'm not too big on the wheels and wrap(or paint job?).

Well that's an interesting modification.

Pictures are tiny, but here's a more straightforward mashup in the form of a first generation Dodge Diplomat coupe with a Plymouth Volaré front clip that bolts right on.

I think it oddly works well, not a fan of that hood though.

Aww, you no like the dual snorkel?

I think the front end suits it incredibly well. While I don't care for the original front end on the 1980 Plymouth Volaré, I think it could work even better on the Dippy than the earlier one. Better than the Diplomat front end, even.

 

[GranTurNismo]

Yes, this is a 1993 Nissan March designed to be an Abarth 1000TC.

I, uhh...
Don't know what to say, I mean, it looks so strange but I'm also impressed

Isetta pickup.

This may just be me, but I think both of these look way better than they have any right to.

 

[GranTurNismo]

Jimny pickup.



This "Detomaso Pantera" based on a 1984 MR-2.

This "Mercedes-Benz G-Class" based on a Lada Niva. Really quite well done.

Isetta pickup.

That Isetta from Iso was actually a factory variant called the Carro.

Given the amount of space in the rear of those Type 3s by virtue of the original motor's pancake cooling system, it's a wonder you don't see a wide variety of transplants. I'd wager a Chevy small block would fit without too much fuss; the trans swap such an engine would necessitate is probably the more difficult task.
