I was on another thread today when the term frankenmorgan was used which made me laugh ,I then started to think about when do things stop being personalised mods and a car becomes a Frankenporsche . So my research began and I was staggered at some Porsche I had not seen before :nooo: and also others that I thought looked good that others had branded a disaster or a frankenporsche .

What do you all think . personally I quite like the roof chopped bottom pic but agree the others are Frankenporsches. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Bottom one reminds me of the 1939 Type 64:

All photoshopped pics by the look of it although there are some truly horrific ***** ups in the Porsche world :mrgreen:
 
I suppose the honest answer to the question posed is that it matters not if the beauty is all in the eye of the beholder.

Not many mothers readily agree that their baby is the ugly one. :?:
