I saw this and thought Ewyou!
I passed a garage by my work today and saw this!
I like the seat piping though.
It's different, it's a chrome stripe around the sides.
The owner came out whilst I was taking the pictures and asked if I liked it?
I said "it was different!".
He said he bought it off one of his customers who had it written off because of side impact damage (I didn't photograph that).
It also has scissor doors!
He said he was going to fix it up (take that whichever way!) Ha ha

dang!! Looks like the guy can do EXCELLENT work but need to go back to art school. Definitely not my taste but he did remove and replace the look in a seamless fashion. My question is WHY though???

I might not dig the styling but I'll tell you what, whoever did that bodywork can work on my cars anyday.
The vents in the quarter panels are kind of cool though.

The car is a '98 320. It has had alot of mods done and alot of money spent on it!!
Style wise not my thing. But just think what it could have been if it wasn't so funky lookin'.
Hats off to the fabricator. A slap to the chops for the designer.
