Richard Tremlin- Best S14 Ever Built


Sick isn't she? looks like she's got a disease.. a disease so bad that it makes you feel like cutting away the rear of your car. Recently, this car had been featured in Banzai Magazine and it actually reminded me to make this post. The owner, Richard Tremlin is from Leeds and the best part of his car - Its done at HOME! First time when I laid my eyes on this monster I assumed several garages had laid their hands on this baby and What the NUTS? The WHOLE GT conversion was done at his front yard. 36 months of labour gave birth to this beast. As crazy as it sounds, he even made his own chassis mounted GT wings! Part of the plan was even to make the whole wide body kit himself!
