    yes the colour is alright, and a 1.7 is kinda cool too.

    but a cutting a good 3 door into a model/shape you can already buy from factory and putting back 17"'s on it deserve it an double facepalm! especially given the terrible wig on they've fitted too it! what a poor 76er !

    Worthless.

    Whatever value it had was lost when they chopped the roof off.

    (IMHO)

    Surely that makes it worse! Not only does it look ****e but its a repaired write off.

    I've seen at least 5 of these chopped cabby's for sale all done in the same style, there must be a 'specailist' somewhere doing this conversion for people.
