I can't help but wish it looked more sleeper'ish though.
A few butterfly stickers on the rear quarter, cat sun shades in the rear windows and a "baby on board" rear window sign
Seems the chap is having some issues still but fascinating to know that 20vt Multipla is achievable.

Thanks for that Jowey, not seen this before. My Multipla mojo is at an all time low today, had to tow mine to a mate's garage this morning with a box full of neutrals. Gonna be a replacement box i reckon.
Would love to do something similar to this only with more soot.

that is the first (and probably only) multipla i could roll in. Another example of how a set of wheels and lowering can sort almost any pig ugly motor

Excellent idea, was wondering how long it would be before someone managed it lol
EmDee - sure it's not the linkages/cables to the box, I think I have read somewhere before that they are prone to breaking etc

Great work. I'd love one of these. Imagine revving it at the traffic lights GP, with 2 mates fighting over the stereo. But done factory-style like a jumbo 100HP Panda would be perfecto!

love the 'jumbo panda' idea would probably suit the 2nd gen multipla really well!

Had thpughts sbout a diesel version but similar looks as a practical daily.Got to love bold choices for a base vehicle,taking something unfashionable and creating something strangely appealling.

In their defence you can't say they look all that dated even now. I really like the Multipla for its great ideas that were quite well executed IMO. However the looks would always put me off from owning one.... Until now What a way to go about making one awesome Multipla. I agree it could do with being more of a sleeper mind you . Banded Steels with possibly trims anyone?

I've done quite well to hold back for this long, but I can't do it anymore, the need for self whorage is too strong.

Awesome. I've always thought Multipla's were like (original) death race 2000 film. So ugly they were good. I'd roll one and that was before this and emdee showed the potential they have!
