I wouldn't object to owning it but still doubt I could drive it. Really shows that old adage that everything does indeed have potential.

I'm the handsome fella with the cheesy white specs or is that the cheesy fella with the handsome white specs?

More people really should be modding Cinqs in this country. They are cheap to buy, cheap to insure, and there is obviously lots of potential for cool looks and go-faster power.

I had one for about 6 years (longest I have ever owned a car)
Brilliant little thing, only sold it because it got crashed into
I will have another broom yellow sporting one day!

Cracking motors, had a broom yellow sporting and even at 6ft7 it was still comfy (ish)! Would love to build another as a tool!

I'm biased due to having owned several so it will come as no surprise that I really like that.
Some really nice touches on it, not sure about using an early tailgate on such a well smoothed car but hey, the dub scene puts earlier/rarer parts on stuff all the time so why not. And managing to get the wafer thin panels that straight and the panel fit so good is nothing short of amazing!
eta - wonder if it's a cut Sporting shell or a Sporting'd Soleil?

So, either transplanted running gear or sunroof swap? |

Did the simple plug-and-play engine swap of a 1.2 8v in, with a slightly more aggressive cam and whole bunch of other mods. Hilarious cars to drive and so cheap and simple to mod. Squeeze a 1.4 16v in from a stilo! |
