I appreciate show cars like art, not for their every day functionality.

....That describes it perfectly! The trouble is that personally I can't get my head around building a car which doesn't have every day functionality - The joy of driving is then totally lost.
When I was in the bike racing scene (bicycle, not motorbike) it used to really piss us off when some people just used a state-of-the-art bike as a wall ornament. Earl March (Goodwood's owner) pissed me off greatly I remember! Cars/bikes are for driving/riding imo.
I think this is the pic which shows it at its best : -

amazing work mate really liking this. beautiful show car. obviously wouldnt drive it every day (wouldn't want to damage anything) but it looks proper trick i remember my dear uncle having a similar styled mk1 back in the late eighties and ever since i have been wanting to have the time n money to do something similar, just remember rolling up to his house and at the weekends he always rolled it out onto the drive so everyone could see it but even as a kid i remember thinking "unk, these peeps don't appreciate it as much as us!" cant wait until i can get a garage and have a project like this :happy2:

sorry, to continue my favorite ever car it was a limited edition mk1 gti obiously he modded it but i never got a chance to grill him on what was donebut it had wide aches, pearlescent deep green and 10 inch wide rims which is why i see the similarity with yours. fair play bud im over the moon!! :drinking:

when you got your rims did you have any "special" time with them before putting them on your car :love: :confused:
