Dear God, what was he thinking?

Does the back slope down too much?? Dodgy welding or a trick of perspective?

It was all a bit rushed and I only had my phone camera with me. Trust me, the picture does not do justice to things like:
Panel gaps wide enough to walk through (possibly extra drainage)
Roof panel seriously bodge welded together - not even straight.
OSF wheel more central in the arch than NSF - neither were what you might call "straight looking"
Woodwork looked like it was done by Stevie Wonder and a gang of woodworms
Side repeater indicators just bodged into the doors - not even in the same position on both doors.

I would have taken more pics but the owner was returning and I simply wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face if he'd spoken to me - which he may well have done had he caught me taking pictures of his pride and joy.

God alone knows how I didn't wet myself holding in the laughter. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

yup, far better implementations. I'm not against the idea, more against half-arsed bodges. The moggy could have been nice had it been done properly, as it was it was an utter abomination.

Plus of course, it would have been a lot better if he'd left off the front snow plough
