i have a total dislike for paint effects of any sort. give me a single shade plain solid colours anyday. even the purple on its own wouldnt have been that bad.

I think the paint works well with the shrek - style wing mirrors and the single wiper conversion. The overall effect is truly hideous
.... but at least consistent!

The car itself ain't too bad but that interior is shocking. The purple on the inside does not go with the shade of paint on the outside. Bit of cosmetic work and it could be ok

It is shocking but trim and paint are easier to sort than rust and worn mechanicals. If its a solid shell underneath the "euro" paint and is mechanicly sorted then it could be made into a stunner.
It has 17" Hartge splits to!
Maritious (sp) blue with silver leather anyone?
