Does anyone remember that Skoda Rapid that was posted some time ago that was undergoing some serious body mods? It was mid-build when I saw it and looked like it was gonna turn out quite a stunna. I've lost the link, and wouldn't mind seeing it again, preferably finished... Anyone know what the hell I'm banging on about?!

That's gorgeous... but not the one I'm thinking of. ;D The pics I saw were of it in the workshop, and it was still unpainted. It was having some major work done on the wings and arches to fit around some big hoopage, and had a really low stance.

I'm starting to think I dreamt it! I'm pretty sure it was being done in Czech Republic or somewhere East European. It may have ended up with a garish lime green paintjob... but I may have made that up... the link could still be on my old computer but I don't know.
I've Googled to no avail!

Woah! It didn't turn out too bad at all did it! Lots of things i'd have done different for personal taste but isn't that always the way. Thats about the most radical Skud i've seen evAr!

I preferred it in it's "being built" state Totally agree with that. Looked amazing in build up stage but finished article looks far too Barry Boy for me.

That's the one! Must say I had hoped it'd turn out a little bit better looking than it has done though. Still amazing though!

true true! it does look more chavved up and gay in finished state. almost has a rat look about it in un-finished state, matt paint and so on! shame! he was onto a winner with those side scoops and sills,

Its funny how they've spent ages grafting in steel to build the new bodywork, but in such a modern colour it looks just like a load of fibreglass kit has been lobbed on it. Kinda looks like some sort of new Alfa from the back! Still like it though

Whatever it looks like finished theres no denying that the standard of work is top notch. I like it but preffered the before pics tbh.
