Ugly! I remember that car being for sale (standard), I seem to recall it's down south in Devon somewhere.

To be honest with the standard front/rear ends back and a touch of lowering it'll look very nice on them Ronal LS's. Love the colour!

BTW why it is that such type of colour (some golden paint, comes in different tone) is used in most horryfying big work gone wrong builds?

This once was 850...

Later is 2003, maybe changed since then to what it is in upper pic, don't know, too horrifying to my eyes.

I thought the number plate looked familiar too, I think I rang up about this car some time ago but it had been sold and the advert had been left on a web site. Back looks ok but not sure about the front. Reminds me of the rally versions from the late 70's, needs something more on the front to compensate for the loss of bumper etc, some extra lights to balance the headlights in the lower half maybe! (number plate :o )

Agreed. That's what it reminds me of too. This is more like a rEally-cross version though. Fail. :lol:
