It is horrible. 
 

I like cammo green paint. 
 

 

The write up is pretty comical too.

The guy ought to be on a stage... :D  wrong engine, wrong gearbox, hacked about with a dog cushion in the back, needs more-than fettling (or fetling), steering fkd and needs a new set of tyre, and what was the big cost - certainly not in the panel beating or the paint job, and otherwise it appears to have been pulled together from skip diving, I'd guess it was probably closer to nine days work spread over a nine year period   ..Only £xyzz  !

fettling (or fetling)

As the verb is fettle, I'd say fettling is right. In this case though, it needs to be fettled into the sea.

I don't know, perhaps I've been a tad unkind.  With a rebuilt Rover front, and a gas turbine in the back it might still be interesting.?

I've mentioned these before, here's another one, not 'homemade' more 'locally made'...

In Syria tax on commercials is/was much cheaper than on passenger cars and there's is/was a thriving  industry converting cars, pertinent to this thread, mainly into pick-ups.

This is a chopped Favorit estate, the chopper in this case was wielded by MTX. Locally these conversions are called 'trucklets'.
