Certainly collectable, but that doesn't automatically make them beautiful. A mate of mine built an extended chassis doorslammer out of one a few years ago, and even *he* thought the thing was as ugly as one of Mike Tyson's turds. But then, that's precisely why he used the car. *Because* it was butt ugly. It got a *lot* of attention. -- Regards, Noddy.

I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder But you have to remember that I was only a kid and anything that looked like a spaceship was something out of the ordinary > A mate of mine built an extended chassis doorslammer out of one a few > years ago, and even *he* thought the thing was as ugly as one of Mike > Tyson's turds.

He sold it to a bloke in Western Australia if I remember correctly when he retired. -- Regards, Noddy.
