	I would take this: 'cos it has the gearbox and diff that a 635 should have, and turn it into a passable impression of this: Possibly without the lettering, but with those wheels, that exhaust and that colour scheme (incl. gold trimmings). Not keen on whatever it is that's going wrong with the front wheels, but other than that... Ooof!

(I think I photoshop a lot better in my head than any paint skills I may have so sorry for not making a finished image!!)

	I already have this but needs loads of work, so I could buy this which was for sale at this years NEC classic car show, Then I would make it like this, change nothing but maybe in Blue.

	Take something ridiculously large and ugly like this Daimler. Casually drop in a 27 litre Rolls-Royce Meteor engine. To end up with something equally as brutal as this.

	Given the time, skills, and money, I would do this: I have a photo somewhere of my neighbour's yard, which among other (rotten) cars has a fairly tidy but neglected Imp. Can't find it though, so you'll have to make do with an ebay link. You'll also have to forgive my poor internet skills, cos I don't know how to do tidy ebay links... www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HILLMAN-IMP-BLUE-/200685390855?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2eb9c80c07#ht_1268wt_1348 + = I'd probably do it black with orange detailing though. And maybe orange go-faster stripes. Plan 2: Buy this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLVO-240-GL-ESTATE-METALLIC-BLUE-LOVELY-CONDITION-/220907103228?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item336f16e3fc#ht_500wt_1363 + Some great big agricultural-style diesel engine + High is the new low But in the style of: Edit to add links...

	I would get a Fiat Regatta: and give it this threatment probably with delta S4 compressor turbo hybrid engine... something that would definately break in the real world.. a lancia 8.32 engine would also be a nice option.
