One of my favourites being the mkIII escort van with a wrap over spoiler, made from cardboard and bodyfiller :lol:

Post by: V8MoneyPit on January 04, 2010, 17:57:04: Brings back memories of someone I went to college with. He had a Mk1 Escort that he'd built a plywood body 'kit' onto to make it look like a Martini Porsche. Huge arches and spoiler, and a massive rear overhang with a wing. Problem was it was only an 1100 IIRC and it wouldn't pull all the weight :lol: So after all the work, he ripped it all off again!

It was a vague attempt at copying this:
