| Congratulations on your 100th post. While they were concentrating on putting the FIAT rear lights in, the front craftily rotted itself out !!!!

1000 eh Andrew!! Don't the years fly by when you're having fun!!
Yes, that's a good one - dash is quite horrible although the car has some good points. Quite a lot of body faults in only 1000miles though isn't it! Looks pretty messy under the 'lid' too.... Still it IS different but perhaps not quite a 'head turner'?.

'the front craftily rotted itself out'... in true FIAT style

Not an eBay car but James (KA2S4) thought I should nominate my Dad's Hornet for 'dash of the week' after I sent him this picture 
I'll hasten to add that the car is now just a shell and the offending dash has been burnt

I hope you burnt the matching "door cards" too!

Yes, and the 'matching' carpets that caused the floor to end up like that. Pretty classy interior, don't you think
Anyone got a nice green Mk1/2 Hornet interior?

Very interesting - would like to have a go!
Not sure about the 12" width increase..... still... difficult to make a clubman more ugly than they were when they left the factory.
****lights the blue touch paper and stands well back****

Nice looking car this one. Could be very interesting and at least it won't fall in half, Laurel and Hardy style
Reckon you'd need to take your Brocade pants with you for a ride in either car

| Norton, have you seen the 'chopped' Clubman estate with Golf headlamps on eBay? It's a REAL headturner

Not a great photo of it, but I think it more than qualifies for dash of the week

That's the one. Bet there's a classy dash hiding away in there
I see they've taken the 1100 engine out and put a 1000 in it. Probably doesn't need the power of an 1100 (remember, they are ideal for race tuning) now there's not so much weight in the shell

Very tastefully done....
Note the spelling mistake on the boot! Its "feisty"....not "fiesty" you dumbo! You'd think he'd have looked it up before going to the trouble of painting it on the boot?
Full marks for spelling on the other word though.....!
