I like it,
Though I would take the glass windsheild out and bolt in some lexan. Also make more room in the rear wheel well and put some 31 or 33 inch tires on it, and put some skinny tires on the front (on smaller steel wheels). I don't know if I would want to roll that though. That Cage seems a bit iffy.

Cool idea for the totalled car- kinda shitty execution.

I think it's cool.

Smooth out the rough edges, bolt some headlights and taillights on it, put some sort of hood on it - I'd roll in that.

Why make it beutiful/refined if your going to damage all the nice body work the first time you take it out?

Thats an awesome idea of what to do with a wrecked, but still driveable car...
