How Not to Customize Redux: 1996 Ford Taurus “Space Ship”

Image
Do you want a car that, "look deferent and feel deferent [ sic ]"? If so, this Australian tuner - whose skill at vehicle modification is in line with his comprehension of the English language - has the car for you... The third generation Ford Taurus was not a very pretty car to begin with. Its ovoid shape, which extended to the taillights, rear window and even the dashboard was not especially attractive and made the car look like it was slowly melting.

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Transformed into a Coupe

Image
Just because Mitsubishi doesn't offer a coupe variant of its Lancer EVO X sports car doesn't mean one cannot be created.

As you can see in the photo gallery after the break, it's an unfinished project. According to the eBay seller of the custom build, "the previous owner [of the car] no longer wants to complete it". Along with the two-door conversion, the custom Lancer EVO X also benefits from a wide body kit, deep-dish alloy wheels, a new coil over suspension, upgraded turbocharger and other mechanical improvements. Kudos to Nick for the tip! Link: eBay
