Re: new restomod 914
I hate the front end (and not keen on the spoiler at the rear) oh, and the fact they used the word Restomod... Ugh.

Re: new restomod 914
IMHO:
Front is really poor, track toooo wide and all out of proportion, original is spot-on.
Love the interior. Would far more prefer that in my Boxster.
Rear is OK.
Why have such silly wheels? Is it a 'restomod' if you have silly wheels?
All too cartoonish for me.
Except that interior.

Re: new restomod 914
Not for me, looks like a Lego car. The area around the doors looks like somebody got the fit badly wrong, and I hate this term 'restomod' plain ridiculous.

Ok, so dare to be different to a 911 restomod. It a real celebration of the 70's. Would love to see it in the flesh.

Re: new restomod 914
Would maybe look better if the front was painted the same colour as the rest of the car - anyone tried Photoshop to colour the front in?

Re: new restomod 914
I'd be pretty cheesed off if was having hassle with DVLA for a rhd conversion or a roll cage install, and yet this gets away with being a classic car........W
