Restomod Esprit

[Mito Man]

I feel like this about most restomods. Just do the mechanical stuff. New but discreet infotainment would be nice. LED bulbs inside the headlights and don’t fecking touch it any more. If you really need to improve high speed performance then flat floor. At least you don’t see it.

I really want to like it but
a) They have made it look worse
b) For half a million I would want it to turn into a submarine

Well, that, and actually pay attention to fitment of everything, use decent fixtures, rewire it from scratch to be fully modern so it's actually reliable, etc.

But otherwise, yeah, this feels overdone and looks a bit weird to me. What are those tail lights? The rear end of the Esprit always had vertically seperated sections didn't it? why are these horizontally orientated LED bars now?

I just don't get it.
