vert with celica headlights [Ultra Conversion]

I found this while looking for a picture of a lateral link. Also this may or may not be a repost if so sorry. Not saying I like it but you have to think about the work and dedication put into this. I wonder if it's still a rotary?

putting together a decent motor, drive train and suspension takes a lot of dedication.

That crap above only takes bad taste and spray paint.

i can the potential in the use of the headlights, but that car just isnt working out...

you know if REamemiya released a car utilizing celica headlights majority of people would eat it up. obviously it wouldnt look like that, but you know what i mean.

The car should probably be set on fire, and the owner as well.

If anything, this car perfectly illustrates how difficult car design can be.
The execution looks OK and I'm trying to ignore the awful paint and wheel choice, just evaluating the body.

Which is also awful.

I'm sure everyone has their own ideal- my personal bellweather would be the 1st series XK-E Jaguar- where every line is just perfect and nothing is present that shouldn't be.
This car is just bloated, with odd surface detail that doesn't seem coherent or logical.

At first I was "meh" but after repeated looks I've advanced to "ugh".

i had this idea back in the day



theres a vert in japan with it,.. but he put them too far forward it looks horrible


You gotta look at it from a tuning function perspective





looks good on FD imo
*this is a real car somewhere, i just photoshopped my wheels onto it because it had some gangster chromes*
