Contemplating wether to go period or concept lighting as found alternative headlights and tailights but till back end is fixed wont know if they will work together. Took a while but i think I've found the right combo.

Yes it will be offered as a kit, in one form or another.

Just one issue - It has a roof!!!!!

Tribute will have a roofless version out in no time im sure if the demand is high enough, he certainly did it with the mx250.

Looks great - only issue could be with the grille as I suspect AM won't be too pleased?

Or Ford, it looks just like the front of the new Fiesta...

DSG4ME 2nd December 2013 10:04

Must say it looks fantastic. Reminds me a bit of the Evanta AM recreation.

As for the grill, if AM did say something you could use the new Ford Fiesta or Mondeo grill, or even a custom Nissan 350 (AM style grill) by DamD not to mention others.

jmc14 2nd December 2013 18:21

That does look great.

zagmad 2nd December 2013 19:18

Could it be worth using the Fiesta Grille to make the mould? Looks as though it could do the job well, avoid any wrangle with AM? and make for a nice finish and easy-fit grille ---- Job done! Like the way things are going - I admire how quickly and artistically you can do these builds.

Down&Out 3rd December 2013 18:06

Cross that bridge when you come to it i say, the grille looks too good to be worrying about what might happen if someone might say something.

Down&Out 3rd December 2013 19:21

If this looks close enough when its finished, i'd like to fit one over the top of a vitesse, looking good thus far though.
