But why?!?!? Though I'm interested to see how it looks when it's finished.

More fun? Not enough cash? Too much free time? images/smilies/dunno.gif

Hmmm, he basically writes what you see on the pic and what he has done, you need to get a swede if you want it translated properly images/smilies/tongue.gif

swedish is terrible to read but easy to understand.

fbc · September 28th, 2005, 12:22 PM

Does it mention anything about what the starting point was (i.e. what car is underneath all that) and the mechanicals?

mgkdk · September 28th, 2005, 12:42 PM

The starting point was a BMW 535i -89 M5, can't find anything about the mechanicals.

Great, I don't think TGG will be very happy with this idea...

Hah, I actually think that's quite cool. Much props to that swedish fellow, he's got talent. I don't like the front of the car though.. looks a bit naff.

vanMould · September 28th, 2005, 5:19 PM

I could translate it for you, but I haven't got time for the whole text right now. Tomorrow maybe.

But if anyone wants a certain part tranlated I could give it a try...

Redliner · September 28th, 2005, 8:44 PM

I would rather upgrade the car than turn it into a Viper wannabe... images/smilies/yucky.gif

Agreed, but its looking decent so far, but I'm not to sure about the front. images/smilies/think.gif

AutoMX · September 28th, 2005, 10:15 PM

i agree it's a waste of a BMW, but you guys know me, i think the guy is doing great work. the fiero factory viper kit just plain sucks and it's pretty much a rebody. this guy made his own chassis, interior, etc. i just wish he used something else like a reconditioned jag v12, v8, or whatever.
hell, a crashed BMW would have worked great since the donor car wouldnt go anywhere anyway. images/smilies/unsure.gif

From the ebay thing TGG posted:

Even Viper owners couldn’t tell until they looked under the hood.

Right....

Even look at the rideheight...so obvious..

And lame!

Svempa · September 28th, 2005, 10:34 PM

There is another guy in Swedne who is 18 years old who is also building himself a viper replica but used a Corvette C4 as a donor car for everything except the engine which is a Chevy Smallblock if my memory serves me right.
