	I recently finished building a gp beach buggy so started looking for something else to keep me busy and this was on ebay but nobody bought it, i also noticed it on volkszone didnt buy it but i kept finding myself been drawn back to it so i bit the bullit and did the 500 mile round trip I decided to sell the buggy as i felt i couldnt leave it anywhere without people messing with it but nobody wanted it so will be using the running gear from this The eurocco is a proper mix up of parts cortina 3 screen,citroen visa rear screen,triumph 1300 fwd window winders,talbot alpine dash and who knows what else the fiberglass body is a bit worse for wares but should keep me busy for a while not sure on a colour yet maybe scooby blue with a silver super bee stripe running across front and rear also playing with the offroad sports car look as i already have wheels tyres love the american rally fighter I'm open to your ideas so inspire me some of these pics are from before i got as i bought a bare shell buggy doner in my garage

	Don't do it - looks like the unwed offspring of a night of drinking between a bugeye Sprite and an Alpine. "He said he'd respect me and we were in France..." For that shape you need to stick with straight lines - i have seen narrow Miata front conversions - even the lowered popup headlight look.

	As its a kit car based on a Lotus Europa look, I think the round lights are quite fitting... Even if the surrounding bodywork isn't ?

	Round lights look good but then saw this again: Reminds me of the Renault Alpine... and if you could pull of the same sort of front end that would look pretty good. Not sure how you would do it though!

	today i removed the shortend talbot alpine dash today and the wiring was a nightmare vw and talbot wiring grafted together plans are to throw it all away and go for a really simple smooth color coded dash with a central speedo as original underneath
