Golf 1 CuztomWagen

So, about time I actually post a chop here, I believe it might be my first finished chop. allthough I have posted some in WIP section before. C+C welcome as usual, even if most of you don't remember me or haven't heard of me.
Work on this is quite overwhelming compared to the realistic and quite subtle outcome. As usual I have spent waaaay to much time chasing suitable donors and a OK'ish original (finding a good 3/4 view of a 5 door mk1 proved extremely difficult, not to mention a underhood pic of a similar car ) Engine is from a Caddy, which allready had a metalflake engine compartment, but I coloured the engine block and changed some details, amongst other a rebrushed and mofified bug-catcher intake. Body modifications are mostly subtle apart form the station-wagon conversion, most of the time was spent cleaning up the quite grainy original + shaving uneccessary details. Interior is (as usual) full brush( even the column shifter and steering wheel are brushed this time) in a typical 70's style beige/brown, with a bench style front seat. Well, you will see some other details that I have forgotten, and some I can't be a**ed to write up ;)
thanks for viewing :)

thats brilliant , only thing i see wrong is the rear wheel looks a bit off and the engine top piece, but nicely done to converted to a wagon ;)
glac
Thanks, and i believe you are right about the air intake, but the rear wheel is the right angle (compared to the original, and some extra camber, even if that would mean some re-engineering of teh rear suspension ;))

Thank you, I'm glad that you like it, as I know it's not really a common style of chopping :) And I know it's not really perfect, but I don't want to go too far on my chops, and I really like the 'snapshot' style better than the overshiny showroom style. And I like keeping the original background just because it's a challenge blending in the body mods and windows. Again thanks :)
