A quick photochop of an idea i've had in my head for a few months now. Not that retro mind, but they have a kinda retro American thing about them.  I've nick-named it the ScorpiLow  What do you think? Hope for these cars yet? Chris |

Having seen Scaryoldcortina's one in pictures recently they're not as ugly as I remember.
I think it was the shock of how it looked next to the Grannie when it came out. They're so cheap just now it's worth doing something interesting with.

Lower...... Lower....... L o w e r.
You can still get a toe under those sills!
I liked these when they first came out.
I always thought how American looking they were.
I guess I just have a thing for Yanks.
Could be made very cool very cheaply and easily.
Just a bit lower tho huh?

I like Scorpios, and I always have, since I have a thing for odd balls. I can't say I'm liking those wheels on it much though, but if you like it that's cool, and I think it looks alright. Just being honest  |

Cheers guys  At first, I thought they were truely ugly... they have grown on me quite a lot though! Hehe, ok, lower:  Think air or hydraulics would be needed though, otherwise some serious fabbing would have to take place.. Street's Family dragster springs to mind  |

Just found another pic of the above one:  Kinda cool really, quite like Thomas' idea of a VIP one too. Unfortunately this dream is unlikey to come true for a good few years, I have a feeling insurance would be a killer on one of these babies. Maybe they'll be retro by the time i'm old enough? |

I think the guy who owned that was on here. His user name was Scorpilow. Or was that another forum, I forget.

Yah do it that would be nice.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Hey, another scorpio fan I agree it would take serious fab work to get it as low as your pic - I've had the back springs out of mine and it sits higher than that on the bumpstops  I did think for a moment that PFchris had changed his mind (and username) again |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

Masses of potential, these bug-eye Scorps! Pick a minter up for about £12.99 and have some fun with the Euromerican styling. I really like the green Scorpilow - didn't he sell it in the end? Great choice of car to do that to I think, something away from the norm.

A VIP Scorpio is in the pipework as a replacement family car. Hopefully it'll all come together.

My ol' mans got a 2.3 Ultima estate as a cab, looks pretty good as is to be honest, interiors on the Ultimas are lovely and they are loaded with toys.
