Badly modified cars thread Mk2

[TimmyMallett]

I'm gutted I didn't take a photo of it but I came across 2 matching ford pumas today. Both were black with tasteful lime green bits and it was clearly a couples thing with a woman in one and on the back of the blokes one it said in a huge green font...

"AGRO 24/7"


I assumed he was a farmer or something.

Wow just wow! Must have been the talk of the campsite!!

Weirdly enough I quite like it, although it would benefit from matching wheels and a decent paint job.

Think so. It was around years ago (as you probably guessed) and is now no more. Capri, Ital/Marina middle, though I'm not sure if the rear is Escort estate. Possibly Marina/Ital estate?

at that BMW. I'm not surprised it's been in a garage 15 years. They couldn't get the fuel pump in after they fitted the rear arches (term used loosely)

Edit - probably why the roof is left still down - it's the only way of getting in as the outside handles are so far back in the door

A few pics copied over, if anyone isn't able to access the link.

The windscreen is fine.I have nothing against the windscreen. It's almost Christmas -
Goodwill to all men and all that.

Apparently a 6 figure sum was spent to make it this bad.

I think I love that, also has better lines than most of those "coach built" shooting brakes

There's a couple of videos too, just to highlight how "lovely" it is!

I like the bit about the rear lights "sourced from Hella Germany", err like that makes them better!

I hadn't seen the rear lights, for some reason they don't appear on the ad photos. I can see why now.

[Speed 3]

Pity its going to take another 6-figure sum to restore it

[DocJock]

That poor Jensen...

[e30m3Mark]

The dash looks like formica?

Horrible.

[2172cc]

Yes or No?

[Agent XXX]

Gosh.

[phazed]

That is sort of awesome! Just look at the trailer attached as well, a work of art.

The trailer definitely should not be in this thread.

[alorotom]

I’m out on that one ... while I don’t get the idea of the XJS(? I’m crap with Jags) in semi-aircraft style the idea of the jet trailer is pretty awesome

[peteA]
