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?

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

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

Faeflora 04-11-2011 03:48 PM

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

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.

buffon01 04-14-2011 01:28 PM

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

Pen2_the_penguin 04-14-2011 02:04 PM

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.

Braineack 04-14-2011 02:10 PM

high performance tires on dirt roads is win.

icantthink4155 04-14-2011 06:09 PM

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

Faeflora 04-14-2011 06:36 PM

Holy fucking shit it looks pretty damn good

He must be a drug dealer

Braineack 04-14-2011 06:37 PM

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