The proportions went for a toss mostly because he chose Corolla headlamps initially and had to elongate the front end. The ill-chosen 2-tone paint job also led to the car looking like 2 sections put together.
It looks much better now with some other headlamps and a single-tone paint finish which looks absolutely fab. Suddenly it doesnt look like two halves put together and the car looks really cool.
The vehicle is great fun to drive and after Bunny from Car took the address of this chap from me and it featured on that magazine he had visits from the TML R&D wing who also suggested some other structural changes to him.
Essentially all he has done is to cut off the section from the B Pillar right up to the quarter-glass on the rear door. The trailing edge of the rear doorframe therefore became the trailing edge of the only doorframe on this car and all he did was to join up a section of the rear door including the rear quarter-glass and trailing edge to the front door! It was actually that simple - he didnt have to create a new doorline or doors, nor did he have to create a new rear pillar!
The beauty of this job was the simplicity with which he achieved it, and then of course the incredible attention to finish and detail. Every inch of the interiors are P E R F E C T - better than any factory-made vehicle within 10 lakhs.
 Keep those wheels turning!
