Just spotted this on the Vortex. At first glance everything looks fairly normal but look again...

I think maybe Ukrainians have the same attitude as Cubans when it comes to keeping their cars running - whatever it takes!

The mk1 above has the wings, bumpers and indicators from an Audi 80. How much modification has gone into the wings I don't know but if you check the pictures the swage lines are very similar.

A possible parts source? :hehe:

My thought path was - 'no headlight, no wiper, odd ride height, big tyres.....its gotta be a track lightened 4WD turbo'd sleeper!'
