There's a certain vibe, but specifically...
1) 10" conversion
2) paint flaking off under the tractor seat
3) The tractor seat
4) Paki-style cowl decorations
5) Weird Chromed flex-duit on the brake and shifter cables
6) Missing aluminum strips on the floor mat
7) "Not running"
8) Speedo w/ super tall bezel
9) All the steel hardware is rusting (not galvanized)
add a huge winged P (.25)
yellow boots (.75) for a perfect 10.

I feel that in the traditional spirit of a TRUE bodge that YELLOW BOOTS deserves more cred, as it SHOULD be a staple!

Also a motor with a complete set of CHROMED, DOMED NUTS is an essential.

Overall the nice part of assessing pure "BODGINESS" is the "EuroVision Factor ", which means there is a chance it can receive "BONUS POINTS " above a Purrfect 10.

The serial number seems legit, the guy just put some paint on to make it readable, you can still see the star after the number. Bit too expensive because of the paint job. You might be able to remove the top layer(s) to find the OG color. Not bad if you can lower the price down to 2K
