It came out exactly as I hoped it would - like an auto show pedestal for the best in show. I did overhangs on the edges for some led lighting at night, the brick chips (hard to find and pricey) will cover the black weed/pest block and eventually nice grass around that.

1st time I have been able to look at mine outside in a long time. Just reinforced how GOOD these cars look. absolutely timeless design!

low res gopro screencap and a 2feet forward would be better - 1 step at a time

Just bumping the thread - a friend gets these unique cars from Porsche... Surely not the most beautiful, but it would be fun to rally...

This is pretty cool! Nice Idas for a display!

Even the parts of this car are beautiful, the rear crossmember looks like a modern bridge with the quality and heft that you see in military jet construction.

This part looks awesome

It was not in my mind when built, my platform resembles those used in the Petersen museum

A video of my euro running in JANUARY 2021. A member here bet me that my car had been NOT running/serviceable whatever since a LONG TIME AGO. I said he was full of ****. I left my car in PERFECT shape in 2007 when I moved and went searching for land to build a dreamhome on. What I thought would take a few months took 14 YEARS. (I have a very extraordinary back story to my life which will remain private here, movie stuff)

My 85 euro was in better than showroom running condition UNTIL January of 2021. After bringing it down and going over everything to make it EVEN better than it was, new everything (that mattered) including those rare flat black wheels from AUSTRIA my luck struck again. A day before I was going to the tire shop to mount new tires to finally drive it ON ROAD, the head gasket let go. This video was made days before the bad luck struck.


the video showing how great it looks and how well it ran. The Fiesta ST is in the video, great daily, best voice interactive system available. THAT CAR WAS CRUSHED BY 2 LARGE TREES A FEW WEEKS AFTER THIS VIDEO!

Alfa Romeo Carabo. A real historic timepiece designed by Gandini for Bertone. And presented in the 60s, at the same time as the miura and before every other wedge shaped car. Lower than a GT40. Add to that that it was fully functional as a conceptcar, driveline based on the iconic 33 Stradale = 0 - 100km/h in 5,5 seconds!
