Mm.. looks pretty good from afar. Nice and clean lines. Rims compliment the body package.. no sunroof OB. Not sure about the front hood/clip alignment. But.. I kinda like it.

The condition of the engine bay really complements the fine bodywork

Wasn't somebody asking about deleting the black piping between the body panels and the bumpers, a while ago? He wanted to see how it would look. Well here it is. No black piping. Everything is flush.

Agreed! I'm only commenting on the the bodykit. No comment on the rest of the machine!

I agree, keep the doors and hood shut and that is the one of the cleanest and nicest looking wide body I have ever seen. As for the molded in bumpers that is also awesome but not practical cause if you drive it, it will eventually crack. I like it.

This is only a short hop for me if someone wants a check out I would happy to return some good karma I have been given in the past. Just contact me here, or send a PM and I'll help in any way.

After looking again closely, the guy is a glutton for punishment. It's either an 8 series or 7 series mid-90s BMW in the background. For a 79, it's got a ton of updating to the body with S4 rear lights, but the interior and engine bay are gaaaak. I can't imagine whats under the dash cover.

Pretty good job on the body and made it look modern! And not half done job like those el camino or hot rod stupid mods.

But I wonder where did he buy the body kit?

Also how do you open the door? Keyless?

Looks like A.I.R. American International Racing glass ......they did a lot of body kits for Porsche cars. I got a real carbon fiber 928 hood from them.

It looks like one of the better kits I've seen. Wonder how long it's been 'converted', since most fiberglass shrinkage cracking shows up after a year or more.

I wonder if the extr four cylinders are living in that box in the trunk. No room for luggage or golf clubs with the extra cylinders stored back there.

Interesting body kit in the OP.

Is that a detail piece faired onto the doors or totally new custom doors?
