    That's one hell of a transformation!

    Shop looks like it handles quite a few high-caliber cars, too!

    206, check out the size of that rear end. Bigger than a Chevy 1 ton.

    The impressive part is most of it is hand crafted. They are actual fabricators. Anyone with basic automotive skills and tools can buy an old Mustang and order shit out of a Year One magazine, but these guys are artists. They took a pile of metal and turned it into a beautiful machine.

    it's like an artist looking at a pile of clay and saying this can be something.

    You look at the first pic of the car and you have no clue they had ideas to turn it into a bad ass rally car

    It WAS a bad ass rally car. All they did was restore it to its former glory. And did an absolutely breathtaking job at it. I would love to see that shop....but it's in Finland.
