I kind of like that to tell the truth, reminds me of the AMC pacer, which is also on the list,
but also reminds me of the MK1 fiesta.

lol i think the 1.0 nova engines were of similar design, i tried to blow my 1.0 nova engine before i binned it for the 1.3sr lump. i tried everything i could think of even revving the shite out of it around the yard after id drained the water system. it refused to give in so i just got on with doing the conversion like i was supposed to be lol
