That's pretty cool.
I was so into "The Mulholland Look..." I had so many dreams...
What I meant was that I probably could never have afforded to do the whole job right, and I would have looked just like those cars on beaterz.com with the unpainted spoilers and too many fog lights.
My dream was to do a full restoration, drop in a 2.0, do the suspension mods to go with it, and top it off with wider fenders (otherwise stock-looking) and yes, the obligatory whale-tail, as a testament to old Ferdy.
