I managed to find an un-watermarked version of this, but nothing wallpaper-sized. Reverse image search doesn’t get me any further than a bunch of dead-end generic Pinterest “welding porn” collections. Still no clue where it comes from.

I have a feeling the top two are a RWD mk1 or mk2 VW..

the bottom is a stock photo by Akhararat Wathanasing who takes photos of everything it seems..

I hate Pinterest so much. I can’t tell you how many times it’s flooded my search results with dead ends when I’m trying to track down the source of something. I found the above version at bbcustomspeed.com , and I’d be willing to bet that it’s not their work at all, just a stock photo for the website. That stock photo had to come from somewhere though...

Yea, Pinterest is always at least half the photos whenever you do a GIS. I really want to find where these come from. They are separate images from different builds as far as I can tell too.

The engine bay doesn’t look right for a mk1

Kinja'd!!!

Nor does it look right for the mk2

Isuzu 4JJ1 in a DMAX pickup truck, built by Meng Sang Thailand. I can’t believe I actually managed to dig this up, haha.

I’m pretty sure that “heat discoloration” is fake, painted on.  looks like something you could do with a fade from Dupli-color Metalcast yellow, red, and blue.
