Dunno who remembers, but I posted several months ago after help with a font and some of you recognised the car I was trying to replicate.
I am from the UK, which makes what I have achieved more imressive, since I had to import an old American Ford Galaxie to do it.

The image here is just a mobile phone picture taken in reference to this classic KLF single cover:
We drove endlessly around the Spanish desert, we went on a KLF pilgrimage, we shot hours of video and took hundreds of pictures.
I probably spent more than $14000 doing this.
Cor version: I did something stupid.

Here's a walkaround:

it's cool. I'm also fulfilling a 20 year dream at the moment, and I applaud you for that.
