Merry Xmas from the heart of England
 

Hi guys! My name is Thoko and I live in a little village just outside of Leicester, England. I have this crazy idea that one could reskin a new car and give it design cues from an old, more beautiful form. I have been around several engineers in Leicester who have plainly told me I will go bankrupt if I persist with this idea. After days of searching on the net and sending random emails to strangers, I found this forum. I hope to link with some of you and maybe learn metal shaping and do this myself. So here is to hoping my dream comes alive.

Hi Thoko welcome to the forum
Peter

Thanks for the welcome guys. I plan to rebody a modern car with old panels-a mix of old car panels and some made by myself. My initial thoughts are on this facebook page:

This is a bit too complex for my skill set. So I will first of all start with a modest rebody of an E39 BMW touring with the front end and back detail of a BMW E9. Wish me luck!!

Hello Thoko and Welcome.:)
Live your dreams, go for it.
