Ah, but it was airbrushed trim... ;) The holes had still been welded up... You are right, it was a Skoda A-arm front end at the start (narrowed across the crossmember), when it was white. Worked really well from what I remember, kept the 4x130 stud pattern! Then it went to metallic pink and I think was upgraded to struts, then the complete revamp and the metallic green paintjob, finally the 3500cc Pauter motor and the current pink and white paint. When it all comes together, it will be awesome - should go eights. Ali is also an Outlaw Flat Four member, and still has the buggy. I haven't spoken to her for a while, but she's planning to race again at some point.
