Oh God... yes, I've seen that offender somewhere on here before.

Cars like that should be left in barns.

....and the barn then set on fire.

...and the ashes fused into glass blocks and buried in mineshafts.

What was it even, originally? A Targa? They didn't make cabrios in 74
Edit: read the description now, yes a Targa, so basically how much is a 70s Targa shell worth, without the rollover hoop

Posted this on the overpriced cars thread but thought it fitted here as well tbh:

A very, period / of it's time, Max Power generation 205 GTI with what appears to be a PH1 306 front end & 106 GTI rear bumper grafted / flushed in.

To be fair it looks like the work has been done to a good standard but it remains horrible.

Yet the list of outstanding jobs on the car suggest it's been done to a pretty low standard using lots of filler and painted without correct prep being done.

And the "easy fix" thing always winds me up just like the "just needs a quick clean" does when people are selling things.

advert bad bits said:

Bodywork - Passenger side front door, paint split where door handle was.
O/S front spoiler, paint bubbled
Joint between front wings and windscreen scuttle, filler shrunk.
Some bubbling in the V crease in the bonnet

Headlining at rear window needs fitting to a better standard

Instruments - Outside air temp giving false reading

Driver door sticking when opening on remote, (easy fix)

Yup, MK1 going by the aerial position, I doubt they'd move that too.

Might divide opinion this one: a 1979 Lotus Eclat for sale on eBay with Esprit front and rear and skirts. It actually looks ok, but is it right?

[Escort3500]

The original is no looker, but this is even worse.

[Steamer]

Front looks great - but back end looks worse (somehow!!)

[Shuvi McTupya]

That lotus..

Rover SD1 rear light clusters?

ETA: scratch that, they are just very similar.
