Yep, I remember that one. There was a radical custom orange one as well, pillarless, was it reworked from this or was it a different car? But either way, go stock or go home... [-x :thumbup:

Eech. One of the most hideous creations ever to grace the pages of a magazine (but I'd still rather be seen in it than a "rat looker"... well, nearly!)

I wonder if they kept the original parts so that they could put it back to stock one day... I used to think they were awesome, but I was about 10.
