Car feature: Suzuki Carry kaido racer

Okay this sharknosed Skyline C110 is by far not as exciting as the roofchopped Mark II GX71 by Tijs Lochbaum, but it is cool that such a thing even gets sold commercially!
Headlights and taillights are working and for a mere 980 yen (12 dollar) it can be yours!

Sorry for the crappy and small picture, but I wanted to include something more special than the obvious Skyline C110 with a bunch of Cherry X1-R tail lights. I know: it is a beautiful combination, however I would end up in an infinite loop this way. 😉
So here it is: a Yonmeri Skyline C110 with blister fenders, takeyari side-exhaust and, of course, the Gloria (or Cedric) 430 headlights!
If done a bit more professional I think it would actually work out well. 😉
So next time it will be a Gloria/Cedric 430 with some sort of part swap.
