stephens_xpack Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 The more I look at that poor Tina, the more I just wonder why? The headlights have no surrounds, the snow plough front, the Super Bird attempted rear wing. It must have cost a real lot of money, time and effort to completely ruin that car.
