It looks like it was done well, although hybrids of two cars aren't my thing, personally. Props to you for pulling it off though.

im sorry but to me putting a mercedes front end badges and all is %*#ing DISGRACEFUL.

quality of the work actually looks amazing but i dont get wtf you would want to downgrade the whole idea is crap to me.

Um,,, I don't hate it,,actually I give you props for having the bodywork mesh together well. Not really my cup of tea tho. Just a little friendly warning,, here on CL, hybrid projects (2 different cars to make one) are not really popular on this site. Once again,, props for really nice bodywork.

Bodywork looks amazing (would like to see close ups of the paint job).

I'm just curious...what inspired you to a put a Mercedes front end? Is that pretty popular around Australia? Not being sarcastic...just genuinely interested on what floats the boat down under...

Unique cars are very popular in Aus, not many people like to modify their cars the same as others. VIP style cars are slowly becoming more popular over here too. At the moment everyone is into the drift scene.
I haven't got any recent interior shots as its getting fully retrimmed.

Wow, it's more than obvious a helluva lot of work went in to it. Really not crazy about the front end either, but I think if the car was maybe a different color, like BLACK instead that crazy shade of blue, I'd being going WHOA!!!!

i love full face rims but not feelin' those...are those amistad type G's? i think if you had some fabulous profounds...even some work DH's with MUCH lower offsets...

but i agree with lexucan...different color and definitely change those rims...car will look like a completely different animal...

and at the very least, lose the mercedes hood ornament
