wow, that is really bad!

Where on earth did you find those pics?
Those join lines in the pic of the front look rubbish, nothing seems to marry up, I mean look at the lines round those pop-up lights!! Wonder if this car is still kicking around in someones garage!

Badge looks like Racing Dynamics.
I think that looks cool, in an 80's large shoulder pad wrongness sort of way!!
Show it to Bruce and call it a z1!!

I think it's
I always wanted a car with rear window slots. Anyone know if something like that is available for a normal e30??

I remeber this car from a book I had when I was a kid in the 80s. Had alsorts of "cutstomised" stuff. Mainly from German firms. Lots of digital dashes and three tier stereos. The Porsche 928 estate was cool though and the twin turbo Testerossas (Sp)!
If i'd paid what ever this cost I'd be a little put out about the panel fit.
