doesn't look that good, but people may fall for it. intoerior looks like crap.

It came out looking more like an SLK with the top up than the SLR, and the interior looks like it's made out of wet clay. But it still looks better than it did when they started.

interior doesn't have anything much in it.

Yea, the interior looks horrendous.  And its nowhere near as sleek as the real version.  But some bystanders may be fooled, which is what this guy wants.

It's actually a Mercedes.  If you zoom in on the steering wheel the Benz logo is there.  Which car it is...I'm not sure.

My guess is that it was an old car that was destroyed in a fire or an accident...

No idea...but I bet if he had the money and time to make a new car by himself from that I'm sure he made sure the chassis was in good condition before he did whatever with it...but who knows.
