I talk this guy for about a hour about this car, I would have been really interested in this car if I was a little younger.
I told him that he had taken the car to far and that's why he has never finished it, he said if he hadn't gotten sick he would have finished it but i sorta called BS especially after I found how big he is and I told him at his size he would never been able to get in and out of the car.
He wanted me to make him a offer but i didn't want to hurt his feelings but i think if the right guy gets it and puts it back to a little more stock look it could be a neat little hot rod.

Dun Rite?
In my opinion, one might think "done right" would involve having the tires centered in the wheel well opening... I can see how the axle couldn't go much farther forward and still leave room for seats with the huge slicks, but with all that sheet metal hacking, how much more difficult would it have been to move the wheel well openings farther back in the fenders to be centered on the tires/rims?
The most unfortunate thing is, it looks like it was a pretty nice condition MKI before it got all hacked up. Round corners all around, leaded seams and Forest Green, my favorite body combination. Geez guy, if you're going to do something like that - USE A FRIGGIN ALPINE, not a real Tiger!
