Looks live an XA-XC with an XF/XG front
Dog ugly too, what a waste of a classic.

you know when you look at something and you just think something is just not right what is it well with this you dont even have to think. the funny thing is it sounded hot and looked like he put alot of effort into this the front was seamless it was like it was made for it the job was that good. could have chosen something beta tho doesnt suit a xb coupe 1 bit. IMO

Well if he did it to get noticed then it works because at least one person has spontaneously photographed it it has been put on the internet on at least one forum and has had at least 13 posts. I would say he got noticed. taste is an individual thing otherwise we would all drive subaru's (ugly cars that go fast) Good luck to him but I still wouldn't be seen in the car. It's that individual taste thing (not mine)

my god, what a way to ruin an otherwise nice coupe... it probably has the XF Tail lights as well, which were for some reason a common mod back in the 80's...
that front bar looks to be a modified EF bumper |

It actually makes the front look alot like an 80's Mustang.

The car was probably modified back in the 80's and it was a wild/way out/totally rad mod back then.
But today its a ruined classic. We know now classic is better than plastic - but I very doubt the owner could of foreseen the future

Why do people persist on putting, different front ends onto older models?
Sorry but that's just s*** and I hope I never see a XA/XB/XC like that again. |
