Its another one of those cars that has had a huge amount of work put into it and yet it still looks like this shocker.

for sale on ebay

Yes, definitely badly modified, however modified for a purpose though and apparently entirely reverisble.

Bids on ebay currently at £11K & entire proceeds are going to charidee.

I'd have thought it would achieve more for the charity if it was auctioned as a stocker....

I like that Granada chop shop effort.

It's only when you're afforded a profile view that you see the full horror

I followed that down the M6 one day. I felt sea sick looking at the ripples in the bodywork and the sills are nowhere near straight.

Ha - who would have thought a car with a Reg plate that (almost) said Limo would be a....... wait for it..... Limousine

I like the chop shop Granada for pure giggles (especially the door lock) and the MR2 is well done and not badly modified at all. A show car is not badly modified in any way - just not to everyone's taste but given it was probably done a few decades ago it needs to be in context.

Just read the add with mouth wide open.

Such a lot of good work to produce something so dreadful.

You have to love your car, doncha? So what happened?

Looks like someone was too preoccupied wondering "how" to think "should I"...

Considering the quality of the cut on the exhaust tips and the waveyness of some of those panels just to name a few of the numerous faults I would argue there was no "Good work" to begin with.
