Not sure if this is in the right area.

Anyway browsing the web and found this interesting looking project on the Practical Classics forum. Chap in Wrexham cutting down a BMW E36 compact and fittng a Mk1 Escort shell.

Also has a link to a Cresta built around a Jaguar XJR.

You really have to admire the time and effort some people go to.

Escort shell looked as rotten as you like; good use of it though, and with M3 running gear I imagine it would be quite amusing...
