Very cool.

I had two Le Cars back in the 80's.

They served me well.Lasted me a few years with little maintenance.

One I blew the motor in racing a yugo.

The other i used in an impromptu demolition derby in the parking lot of one of the local bars against a friend of mine who had a ford capri.

Didnt kill it,but it was the beginning of the end.The fenders were flapping in the breeze and I got tired of getting in through the passenger door and went on to buy a used VW Rabbit that I also loved.

30 years later and people still bring up the demo derby outside the old amber inn.

Ive been enjoying all the customs you have been posting.Nice work.

That reminds me, I've got a Ford Capri buried somewhere on my desk I should get finishing. Can't decide if I want to go stock, convert it to an RS or convert it to a full-on Zakspeed replica though. :D

I've heard Renault imported a few of the R5 Turbo models to race in IMSA GTU. They're a pretty mean Le Car.
