Questionable modifications: pictures inside!

[Johnny1996]

I believe that's about the questionable part of this car - The rims. They don't work on this car. For me at least.

My personal law (its more than a belief ) is that you never put rims that big on a muscle car. Ever. And for emphasis... EVER!

Not terrible. The rear wheels need to be wider, front thinner, and make them smaller and brushed. Then it'll be nice.

I like the way you think.

That could potentially look great if the guy completely refabricates the entire undercarriage of the car in order to house the wheels well under the body and extremely lower the car. Indeed, if you're gonna put enormous wheels on a muscle car you need to do aaaaaaaaaaaaall the extra work it takes to make it work. If not, you end up looking llike that thing. Ew.

Like this?

No. That is almost a stock ride height in a 55 Chevy. It looks tucked in because of the design of the rear wheelwell. I'm talking more or less like this:

I think they are 22s in the rear, and even so the car doesn't look thaaaaaaaaaaaat bad. But that's because the car swallows a good portion of the wheels. Imagine if you could see the entire wheel in this car. It would look downright stupid. As it sits it doesnt look too bad.

SOMEONE SHOW THIS TO JALPONIK! They'll absolutely lose it.

I actually found this through OppositeLock, Jalopnik's forum.

Ohh ok. I would actually be surprised by now if Jalop did not already know about this. You know what happened with this (which very much belongs here):

Wait, now I remember! I saw that on Shmee's FB timeline, and then I posted it on OppositeLock!

Anyways, a questionable mod from my country!

I was looking for Minis to Tastefully modified cars thread, instead I found this.

 

[Wiegert]

@Legro I don't see anything wrong with the execution. Also not surprised it came out better-looking than the upcoming 5 door MINI Hatch.

Attaching classic wing mirrors to a Mk VI Rover Mini is marginally less questionable.

 

[Legro]

It's not badly done, but I still think that Mini should be 2 door car.

This. 4 door Minis just look odd, in my opinion. They're highly practical though.

I'm not even mad.

 

[Slash]

I wasn't sure where to post these, because these are not modified, but factory built...

 

[Dagger311]

Ugly as hell, but stock, so not modded.

No where else to put it.

 

[Johnny1996]

I guess "don't post it" then? I'm the same here; I'm not sure where it should go.

Oh look it's Ford Mondstang.

Probably the best handling Mustang ever made.

[Zychotic1]

the most questionable thing about that bus is the fact that its FWD!

their photo album appears to be down but there atleast used to be build pics with drivetrain pictured...

Why? Because the driveshaft would be too long...?

 

[ColinH96]

I think because if there was one, it would intrude into the cabin so much that you would'nt be able to fit in it.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Then what's the point in that fair amount of rubber on the rear...

 

[Zychotic1]

I guess so they could keep the floor absolutly flat...

it appears that there would be room for a driveshaft if they put a standard size tunnel down the center, or even just raised the floor a bit further...

I beleive the transaxle came out of a toronado

just noticed their site states :As Seen on Monster Garage... I dont remember ever seeing it on there

 

[Johnny_Clash]

It might be a Belvedere.

...or possibly a Satellite.

And put some rear side windows in there and it'd look even more awesome.

It's not a Satellite. The trim is different. It's most likely a Belvedere, but it could be a Roadrunner.
