Apologies if this has been posted here before.... I hope no-one's feeling ill ;D  Look....he's done it to the back as well!   I'm not normally given to castigating other people's rides, but that is just beyond belief. |

I'm not surprised no one has owned up to likin git, its NOT good, not not good.
Now the guy who did it must like it, but i guess his guide dog was just having a laugh at his expense.

Isn't this from back in the day? I'm sure it's about thirty years old... The work that is. Maybe titivated for modern audiences, but hey it has to be said. One mans poison is anothers tipple etc. I'd slam it over a set of deep dished rims and bin the door mirrors for that all important 'Bozu' cross over ticket. Would look better with a roof chop too...  |

Bring back the death penalty......just for people that destroy motoring icons. If I ever see him, he's roadkill. Whatever you do, do NOT show a capri looking like this!  Then again, somewhere on this forum is that dumbass moggie/capri hybrid  |

Y'know, in 1979 that would have been really, really cool. Or perhaps not. The '70's version of the 'Kingdom' bodykit???  |

I remember seeing that parked outside a house in Smethwick in the late70's / early80's when all it had was the "octopus" on the bonnet.

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

On the plus side, the wheels look fairly nice.
On the minus side, everything else.

;)I agree it looks totally hideous and is totally unstylish, but for some reason I just can't fathom I quite like it! I'm sure it was built to shock, it surely can't have been made to look like that because the owner seriously thought it looked good. I like odd bizarre old cars, and this is just that! |

An awful lot of work must have gone into that. Methinks it would have been time better spent in the garden though. It made me remember about this one I saw at Raby Castle last year.    Lack of taste must be a common ailment among MK1 Tina owners ;D |

I reckon that 'Growler' one could look alright give a little work though. Bin all the stuck-on bits, get some decent rims on there (Torq Thrusts might work) and big slicks on the back to justify the rake....
'Pro Street'? ;D

I'd agree with Odin here. Decent wheels and removal of some of the badges. Then, just get the back end down and it'd be sweet |
