lolz.

Ballin hard in nicuragua(sp?lulz)

wow.... I dont know what is more terrifying... the fact that they are liking it at m.net, or the build itself.

Needs more AK-47 parts welded to it as anti-war protest.

ak's, life jacket, and a cactus

Group buy? Pack that shit with some narcotics too!

It is kinda funny. It's like saying a kid with no arms and legs on a soccer field has great ball control because he/she can get it to move. It's great to make the best of what you have, but it doesn't mean it's good. It's more of a "Good for you" :bigtu:

ok this is ummm...ok

I can't see the pic for some reason but I actually debated finding a roof off of something like an opel GT or some other car that had the right contours, cutting it down and welding it in as a true coupe like the NB coupes.

In the end, the V8 build has been delayed enough and this would have added another year.

Needs a strip of spikes welded down the middle like a mohawk.

I actually like it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Oh and screw you guys.

you know it looks like shit. dude fucking found scrap metal and welded sheets up then covered it all in bondo.

Lol at "are you going for 30s/40s look?" comments.

I'm pretty sure he was going for a water proof look.

:bowrofl: at that fitment around the window

I actually like it too. It's not the greatest but with limited funds and resources, it's not bad. It will be better than getting wet. If he's going through all of that I seriously doubt he cares how much it weighs.

The m.net pansies can't wrap their minds around someone doing something for reasons other than "STYLE/LOOK/THEME":giggle:

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Growing up in Miami the third world, you see all kinds of shit.

Impressive given the limited resources. Banana leaves may have been faster.

This made me LOL. They just 'find' cars in the bush?

DAAAAAMMMNNNNN ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaah

Hey, it's a practical mod. Sure it's done on the cheap, but any asshat can just go buy stuff. Making things takes talent, even if it isn't as perfect as some would hope.

Would you rather see the guy doing the hellaflush crap instead?

Based off of pics of his carport (garage??) and his OTM, this isn't so bad.

I mean, his other car is decorated with segments of jump rope across the windshield. They see me rollin'...

I'm amused by the condition of the roads there and that the car appears to have 17" wheels. Who wants a sports car in the jungle?

He probably has to drive two hours to find a paved road and couldn't get a hold of new softtop to save his life.

I say he should be proud of the work he has done. Anybody can buy a part for their car...well, unless you live in a hut in the jungle with high speed internet. Good for him.

Could be worse, he could have built a tiki bar style top for it.

I've thought many times about using a nice cage to build a hardtop into. Just very basic skin over cage.

I have far more important and neglected projects though.

Kudos for working with what he has available but I find it a bit odd that he lives in the jungle with ruts for roads and has the internet.

im surprised some m.net guys didnt get together to kill this guy

Good lord. I am fucking impressed. I like how his only tool is a hammer.

you should watch Bangla Bangers. Im Bangladesh, the dont have things like sandpaper/sanders....they use saw blades to remove paint.

This is why I vote Republican.

I know right.....poor people :gtfo:

The wing is retarded, but the rest looks okay. Looks almost like a soft top.

Shits gonna get jacked so fast. I've been to nicaragua, I know.

Lol Jake told me about this. I would NOT drive anything that is not Jeep-Like in Nicaragua. :)

man knows how to paint at least.


edit: from a netbook it looks good, from my desktop it looks like meh... some light spots, but ok.

high performance tires on dirt roads is win.

Doesnt look too bad, but the seal around the window looks like ass.

Holy fucking shit it looks pretty damn good

He must be a drug dealer

considering it was made from the siding of a bus, sure.
