Originally offered by a company called Fiberglass Engineering Design in Indianapolis, this kit purported to convert your 1974-1978 Datsun B210 into a 280ZX...

Now, not many people will ever describe the B210 as a "good looking" car, but this actually, somehow, succeeds in making it WORSE.

I'm not sure how many were sold, and I'm not so sure I want to even see it, but there you have it. :gotme

The standard Juke is crotch spawn from Whoopi Goldberg.

And here's a Miata with an identity crisis:

It's awesome If you like a vehicle whose front end resembles like the premature spawn of a Pontiac Ateck

and a Zandozan (interstellar hitbeast from the Last Starfighter)

But to be positive about the Juke, it's not nearly as homely as the kitcar subject of this thread. ;)

I've seen a few that owners have accessorized in such a way that it sort of balances out, but I credit them for dressing up a turd just right. The car starts at a severe appearance deficit. But hey, it's personal opinion. If we all had the same tastes the roads would be really monotonous. Some like the way it looks and that's great. :bigthumb:

you're all on Drugs.

I need that kit, a 210 and a 302 DZ.

I'll be getting your mom shortly after because my feathered mullet and copy of Slippery When Wet complete the total package.
