Default Bertha is home (pics)

Well it's been a long time but Bertha is home. I had alittle too much fun. So she looks a little different. Before the "CHEAP" comment comes up,the car was dissassembled and reassembled it is one color because I wanted it that way.monochrome. the wheels are Giovanna Brakes 18x7.5 frt. 20x10 rr.

Perhaps not exactly what others would have done, but the workmanshiop looks first class. I like those headlights.

Congratulations. Now go out and wow the crowd!

Giovanni,
who cares about the interior or engine bay if the exterior looks that bad

WOW!....uhmmmm.....WOW.....

Dude...I love it! Great color. I usuallly do not like healightless 928's, but this car rocks. You HAVE to tell me about those wheels! Who made them, sizes, where can I get them??? You obviously had to flare the front fenders due to the offest, but that is OK for my application.

The major issue I see with this car is the ride height. You need to suck this thing down in the weeds and lose that wheel well space above the wheels.

Not sure about the Martian antenna mirrors though...
