I would drive that today, exactly as it is.

Proper modified cars these. Remember Street Machine and Custom Car magazine? Those were the days.

What engine was fitted?

Those flames vinyl?

You say you still have it? Classic and very smart car!

I think my parents reaction to this sort of vehicle must have imprinted my fragile, 5 year old mind. I see it and I think 'the chav chariot for when Novas were new and Corsas hadn't been invented yet'

I was into Christine by Steven King around 1989 so I probably would have thought it was quite cool

can easy top this. Very easy. Here we have a 2.8 capri I had which I added a very subtle zakspeed kit. I was broke so couldnt afford to paint the front spoiler so had to use mspaint to colour it in

I sold the car cos i got married , but it ended up 20 years later in the essex arena in a "Banger race " prob driven by a chav in a base ball cap, as for the flames it was all spray work, an it appeared in the 1989 street machine mag, for ref it was a 1957 FD victor, wid a 2.0 ltr pinto

i wish i had a picture of my first modified car.. a black mk2 fiesta with supersport arches, Zender rear spoiler and bright orange Pepperpots. I got so much stick at the time for orange wheels yet it appears to be all the rage these days especially in the Jap scene so i may have been ahead of the times?
