Default New Rendering of my Mark V Custom Coupe plans.

I have added "Louvers" on the front engine cowling, and the Dayton wires from the Donor XJ6 (I love PhotoShop!). Progress on the car is coming along, as we are in the process of removing the 4.2 Litre engine from the XJ6 for installation into the Mark V;

A bump? I don't think I understand this comment. Bumped from the community? Or a bump on the door? (I don't know which would be worse, but I don't like the sound of either of them! hehehehe)

You really don't know what a message bump is?

I honestly had to Google what a bump is! Hehehe, I guess I really showed I'm a noob!

Well, I suppose that a 'Bump' could also be a minor accident.

But, where do fantasy and reality meet?

Photoshop meets real car?

I know that you are working on the car and I love the idea, but maybe an actual photo would help!

Given the extent of the job it might be years before a photo is possible.

This is a bump

I am in the "Vision" stage of this project. As plums has said, a photo of the finished car may be a while. You can't blame a guy for dreaming? A dream is where reality starts. However, if you really need to see the "current" status of the car, I must supply you with two pictures because the final vehicle will be a combination of the two;

Actually, the photo of the XJ6 is probably not accurate at this point since the front clip has completely been removed. We are currently removing the engine for installation into the MKV (coupe). I will be providing more pics as progress proceeds.

hi, your coupe concept looks great.
i have stretched a mkv by 1400mm & have fitted xj6 suspension front & rear. it also has a 2001 Holden v6 & 4 speed auto. the front cab will also have a heater / air con unit fitted with cold defrost demist. do you have any mkv parts left over?
