Only thing I can think is colorblindness

The pearl paint is a bit marmite but it could be rescued and turned round. Replace the hood, dash and seats and it could be pretty smart for somebody

Certainly not the worst I've seen but have to agree that every modification looks like a waste of time and money and would have looked much better if they had just left it well alone...
