I kinda like it. I would have stopped a little earlier though. The scoops on the windows aren't my bag. The bumper and grille could have been toned down a little.

I love the look of the rear, though I couldn't drive a "Lil Eleanor" around. The sticker would have to go.

The color, the fender flares, and the wheels are great.

The E30 itch has been scratched thoroughly at this point. Still on the list of someday cars is the CRX and the B13 SE-R. I've missed great deals on both cars by this >< much and it still kills me. Per's SE-R is what got me into GRM in the first place.

Another cheap car I'd own again is a 2002 WRX. Fun, durable cars.

It is exactly two scoops, mirrors, fogs and door handles from cool. Some guys just don't know when to quit.

FTFY

Regardless I'd rock it.

I like it. Needs about 2" wider rear track and rear window louvers if it doesn't already have them. Not nuts about the mirrors.

I can't be the only one here who thinks it looks a bit Aston-y. No, I don't think it looks as good, just a bit of an homage... Guess that can be said for all MIIs though.

In reply to Jay:

in that aston i see '78 celica liftback quarters, 240z side greenhouse, and the illegitimate love-child of a '78 civic and a '78 mustang grille and front bumper. that is not james bond's aston.

Actually it was, Timothy Dalton used one in one of his movies. It had skis. And that body style came out before all the cars you compared it to (1969 IIRC). That picture isn't brilliant, they're pretty good looking in person...

They are really good looking cars in person.

Any cheap rotary powered mazda. I once saw an RX-4 wagon for sale for $400. It was in Arizona, there wasn't any rust (so the owner said but the pics looked fine) only it hadn't been run in 10 years. For $400 i'd be willing to ignore that, but the 2000 mile drive and lack of a place to put it couldn't be ignored.

For me... Pinto cruising wagon.

The wife wants a VW Thing.

If you keep waiting, there won't be any cheap ones.
