Re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

A JUGAAD job built on an Ambassador 1800 ISZ. ( From olx.in ). It has been posted by Mr Manoj Kumar on Ambassador and Landmaster FB page.
Appears to be the MOTHER OF ALL AMBASSADOR RESTORATION jobs.

Looks like an Ambassador and a Dzire had a very ugly baby. That grille and that thing that looks like a spoiler have literally spoiled a classic.

Couldn't but exclaim "Siva Siva!"
(written on the windshield).

Comes close to the scary Scorpio from Idukki, Kerala, in terms of grotesqueness. Too bad that they left out the wheels.

Re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

Another Ambassador here. Only now we realise why HM kept its core design for this car intact with bare minimum changes from 1958-2014. This was to make sure that some of these ingenuities by individual owners and workshops (or are these studios) should not tempt HM to implement such transformative refresh jobs.

The extensively modified Ambassador images were shared by Mr Manoj Kumar on the Ambassador and Landmaster FB page. The images are originally from @ambassadorcars.

Re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

A 2004 Hyundai Accent coercively made to appear like a Contessa. Neither an Accent nor anywhere near or even far resembling a Contessa. It's an olx advertisement with description by the seller.

The image was shared by Mr Manoj Kumar, on the FB Ambassador and Landmaster page.

Re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

Weird, wacky, but alarmingly dangerous.

Found this new modification on Instagram where a Maruti Baleno's steering has been cutaway and made into a yoke.

This violates every possible norm in the books (and physics).

Original Instagram link here and here.

Screenshots from the reel for ease of reference here:

For instance, here's how Matt Watson experimented with cutting a steering wheel, converting it into a Yoke and all the difficulties he faced.

For a second, I almost thought they were making a real helicopter.

All fears laid to rest seeing the video. That thing aint going no where with those tiny blades!

On a serious note though, I'm glad the cops intervened. Imagine the dangers of those blades spinning when he's driving that on the roads

Re: Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!

The HP number, speedo console and narrow track are a giveaway: it's a Gypsy!

Speedo console indeed is from Gypsy but the location of it is quite questionable as I can see it in the middle of the dash rather in front of the driver.

Hence, I have doubts it’s a Gypsy. But its best ROI to have Well disguised/camouflaged RR and rent it out on weddings (where people can't differentiate between a classic RR and a morphed one) and I guess that's the sole purpose of such modification.

Move aside, James Bond. We have a car that can (almost) fly -

EDIT: Video already posted here (Pics of weird & wacky mod jobs in India!). This news article says the car-copter was confiscated by the cops...
