Honest mistake; don't worry about it. It didn't register immediately for me, and I was actually about to comment about someone actually painting their cardboard bodykit.Hehe, made a fool of myself ..... again.
Here's what appears to be a later version photographed in the same location:

Just saw this on Twitter. Fiat 126 on a '67 Beetle chassis.
Honestly, I quite like it.
You blokes might want to reserve you're opinion without knowing what it drives like.
I reckon it'd corner like a double-decker bus & have trouble getting out of it's own way. I also have to wonder where it could be driven for 'fun'?
Admirable engineering in the looks department though.
This is the first official questionable modification.

I think you'd be surprised on both counts.
SCORE International Class 11 off-road racing (think Baja 1000) regulations dictate use of stock Volkswagen Type 1 suspension hardware save for springs, and swingaxles are popular in that division for their durability. Sure, the handling characteristics aren't the same as IRS, but they're nothing that one can't adapt to.
Another requirement for Class 11 is standard engine cases with displacement not exceeding maximum standard 1584cc and the use of a single 30 PICT carb--horsepower is low 80s on the generous side.
Something tells me that Fiat isn't similarly restricted, though it does use a swingaxle.
Why...in the air of course.
Edit: I should have said there's potential to be surprised, as I don't know anything more about that Fiat than what was posted and what is apparent in the pictures. My point was that swingaxle suspension and an old Volkswagen engine don't have to be a big, fat bummer.

I can't think of any generation of Firebirds I'd dislike, so I'd still take it.

in this case I agree... its a more convincing kit than most, and GM parts are way way way cheaper than ferrari parts Fiero's are kinda known for some issues of their own, a firebird eliminates that... LS swap it and it may be faster than a real one and still be cheaper
What's wrong with the Merc?
