Suppose in its day it looked OK.

Now it looks awful, a thankful reminder how car design has come on

I've counted and counted but can only find 2 doors.

I did spot two more hidden under the bodykit, but doors that don't open aren't really doors any more, are they? And if they are, that would make 4.

I also thinks it looks quite poo.

Someone else did proper two-door conversions that would have looked a million times better than this with the kit on.
