The Godfather [E28]

[ian e30 318is]

the wheels are hot fire!!!!! the rest of the car is meh...pretty creative though

[DmcL]

the fighter style switch panel and teeth/eyes kick ass lol

seats dont look too comfy tho..

I appreciate your vision, am in awe at your step outside the common path of modification, respect the amount of work that's gone into it and furthermore want those wheels.

I know everyone gives you a hard time about this car, but if we look at your other projects like the e36 and the big coupe, we should recognize that you build cars that can stand the test of time.

Hate it or love it, you never cease to amaze me with the work you throw out.

Love the concept, think you need to get your money back on that roof chop.

This. I love where the car is going and new style is definitely going places. The roof isn't right though, I'm not against the roof chop, just it needs a hella lot more time spent on it.

The guards I think are pretty spot on. For whats involved when pulling guards that far they were going to crack. The rough job adds to the whole rat rod style. They totally suit it.

Eagerly awaiting more updates :)

uh mike. im sorry to say but i think you just ruined rusty. Looks like one of the brothers got ahold of it and pimped it out. Looks so bad. You have finally gone too far.

Huh? :hitler:

I'm not sure if it's been said already but this is no longer a car... it's just art, you are no doubt a great artist....

EXACTLY!

It seems to me that many of you dont understand that this isnt a daily driver or even his only vehicle. Realize that this can be considered evolving art. It continues to recreate itself through the imagination of very rare minds that posess the ability (and finances) to bring it to life....

The steering wheel and column don't fit at all, some rusty plate and a jank wheel would send the car to perfection.

Some people just don't get different genre's of automotive enthusiasts. Other than the little hiccup with the interior she is a beauty.

Moar low and an IS lip. And, it's not an E30! Naaaaaaa, I dig it. The interior is genius! Not sure about the roofline, the jigsaw chop doesn't bother me, but I'm with Farbin on it being too flat or maybe it needs to be lower in the front? Baaaaa, what do I know, nothing except that sled is .999 fine! Thanks for showing it, you made my day!

[VicSkimmr]

It's pretty much amazing, and it looks bad ass in person.

[E30Pedia]

This car just went from "awesome" to "lul wut?"

[mattdk318i]

i remember this car when it belonged to chris. It was slow and had a shotty cracked up black paint job.

I really dont mind the look now. I hated the rusted look. But this has way more style and character to it. Doesnt anyone remember it being sideswiped?? The roof wasnt right after that, probably what prompted the roof chop

So what? mike took a 500$ e28 and made it something that everyone has strong emotions about. Bravo man...Bravo.


Ps, when are you going to make it to the dragon again?

[fronton]

Was that car in Death Race? If not, should have been.

the sad thing is we have cars that look like that, but its not intentional, its just what the roads do to them.

I guess I need to take a drive through Canada to have the roads gold plate my wheels.

[straight6pwr]

love the body work. the rusted panels are spot on, and the small details (like the tack welded c-pillar trim) are great. however, the wheels just dont match the rest of the car. throw some ratty steel wheels or something on, and it would be perfect!

Love the concept, think you need to get your money back on that roof chop.

I like it overall, looks like a wacky racer.

^ yea. Have you thought about chopping it completley off?

I like the interior too, pretty cool.
