That was never a RS1600i or any 3 door for that matter.If you look again closely you'll see it has a 5 door fly window at the C pillar and also uses 5 door rear doors as front doors.So the guy fooked up a 5 door shell to make an abortion,so no harm done!!!Regards Micky

Stupid thing to do and not even original.

Seen the same thing LOADS of times before.


Mainly with cars like a mini that actually doesnt end up looking quite such utter want at the end of it.

I admire anyone's commitment to turn out such a good conversion, but the whole idea was flawed from the start IMO.

If someone wanted to show their skills by radically altering the body, why not carry out a body-chop and a roof-chop. At least then it wouldn't have looked so wrong.

I imagine it was one of those crazy thoughts that sounded fun on a Ł200 wrecker, but turned into a massive project without re-considering where it was actually heading.

I can't imagine it would be anywhere near stable to drive.

wrong actually


Its a 5 door car that was cut and then done that way as a character rs16ooi. NO way would Anthony 9The owner of Just Affords cut a real RS

He owns a S1, RS500, Saph cossy, and his brother owns a Esc cos. Its just a novelty thing aint it.

You could simply question why anyone would want to drop in a series 2 lump into a Ka.
