Not sure about the headlamp panels - there is something welded on there but I can't see from the diagrams.
Not wings - it's been done, just the indicator repeaters are in a different place.

What about that woman somewhere in Englishshire who sold her husbands brand new Volvo convertible for 50p because she suspected him of cheating?!

Years ago I kinda knew (friend of a friend of a friend etc) a guy who responded to an advert in the local rag
...."Car for sale, £20.00"
Thinking it was worth a looky, upon his arrival the seller-lady opened the garage door to a tidy Porsche 911 and, yes, you've guessed it......

Hell hath no fury an' all that. It's enough to make a guy want a baseball bat handy, just in case the little woman turns into something from 28 Days Later...

This thread is making me glad I happen to be single at the moment and the only person who can (heaven forbid) scratch my baby is me.
