This is a proper job of a new car that was designed to look retro, being made into a proper retro ride!! I absolutely love it!!

Pages 27 onwards are photos of it completed, pages 1 to 26 are of the build itself.

I'm normally strongly against this but I just can't hate it! They did a good job!

Looks decent, a hell of a lot better than the SSR. At least with the roof down.

I think the grill could be different but the car in a whole looks very nice.

Top up, the look blows, but top down... Oooooooo... me likey a lot. Nice job... :thumbup:

The color is also evocative of the colors of the day, so, not my favorite, but definitely keeping with the retro theme...

the original SSR had potential, until they made it look the way it does :laugh:
