That is a bad ass Torino! I'm guessing one of the few ever modified like that in the world.
Great job.

As far as I kno, yes, the pure vision car and this. There is few guys doing some improvements and mods on the Torino forums, nothing on a major scale tho, believe there is also 5.4 swap done already too.
