    Re: Barnyard bob

    hmm you love it or hate it.! i love it and hate it too

    im not keen on the brown colour as from the pics it looks like a non metallic colour.
    dont get me wrong, i like brown, but would have gone for the more metallic/pearl type browns. you see alot of french/german cars repainted in this colour.

    still, top quality finish

    Viva La Retro, is that the UK equivalent of the Japanese "4x4 offroad happy"

    As you say, Marmite, I like that it's basically standard, but distinctive and not another "cookie cutter" car. You need that kit trimming in leather though

    Fair play for having the balls to try something diffrent, looks good. How many hours did you put in to the bodywork?
