Yeah, I would definitely have a 911 instead of that junk.

The guy has skills but to sell it for 89k??? Haha, obviously he didn't think this was for enjoyment and thinks someone will find value in what he did.

89k can buy you a real exotic already!

It's lame, but the guy has got some press, maybe that was what he was after. Could help him land a more worthy job.

totally agree.....that took some real skill. not only did he have some fun along the way, i'm sure he had a few good laughs with his buddies over beers before he started......."i'm going to turn a friggin MERCURY COUGAR into a BUGATTI VEYRON!!"

it's all good.

I really do understand how much work he put into that car. I just don't get paying $89k for that. You could buy a 1-2 year old Porsche TT or Corvette ZR1.

That's exactly right. Really appreciate the effort he went to, and it looks beautiful (although will sound like garbage), but for that kinda money you can get a legit used, performance machine.

Over the pond in England, I can also buy an Aston Martin Vantage, Bentley GT, Maserati Granturismo, new Mercedes CLS Sport...

One of those cars >>>> Bugatti replica shell with Cougar engine...
