Which is why I like mild customs where everything is just bolted on and body is not modified in any way.If potential new owner does not like ,he simply unbolts and goes his own way!!!!

Unfortunately I think to fix the proportions the front wheels need to be moved forward about a foot! If that were done, and the nose cleaned up, then it might look ok. The rear looks alright. It'll still look a bit odd with that windscreen and interior, but it's the front proportions and that humongous grill that really hurt it I think.
The front big nose look just does not fit well.
But like Bats says....his money and his car.
Or as we said in the real estate business......

I hope with my chiming is with cats calls on this threads car that I didn't give the misimpression that I lump this car in with all radical customs, it belongs in it own group like that scorpion re body and others like them I call mechanical white elephants,
While a c3 can be very radical it can still appeal to a lot of people, look at the trend of flared c3's and a well build wide body is almost always popular, look how much documented motion customs fetch, just because a custom is wild doesn't make it a mechanical white elephant which to me is a car that doesn't flow, it might be hack job but in more cases is built well but just misses that mark of broad appeal with it's odd non flowing design ideas, a great well know example of a mechanical white elephant is the corvette summer movie car.

I feel badly beating this one into a pulp but no one said it looked good except the seller and he/she kind of has to, an ad saying "looks horrible" likely wouldn't float.

After looking at the prices of mid years even the rare basket case mid years I am more curious than ever why some outfit isn't making a replica mid year like the AC Cobra replicas which the mid years actually look better than,
