Here is my FINAL ENTRY
The general concensus was that yellow was the way to go. I also sorted out the rake on roof and modified the rear a little. I think it looks better
Here's some stuff about the pic...
I wanted to make a fusion between US, European and Japanese styling. This car combines American muscle, the European concept of a Grand Tourer which can waft across countries in comfort and the styling is a kind of nod to the big Japanese uber estates (Stagea, GT-B etc.)
Why shooting brake? Estate cars in Britain were originally known as 'shooting brakes', and manafacturers such as Aston Martin used this term. For me it conjures up images of affluent couples pressing on through the countryside on a bright summer's day in a time when only the wealthy could afford to go 'motoring'.
It's not that much of a 'chop' really. I made the entire car from scratch myself; panels, shading, lights etc. The only things used from the original picture are the windshield, wheels, exhaust and background of course.
I hope you like it
EDIT: Put new wheels on...
You can see it here...
