Saw this picture on Facebook this morning...thought I would share. It looks interesting with the Sheridan front end.

BTW kinda off topic (certainly nothing to do with Teeners, sorry) but demonstrating how a change to a B or C pillar can drastically alter a vehicles look ...do ya wanna see something really neat?

You see before I created the "913" ...I created a M3 clone from an old 325e:

Now everbody knows what a Coupe model of any manufacturer looks like, right? For the most part 2 doors and a trunk like shown here by a BMW M3:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/triplertele.com-8728-1339542006.2.JPG)

...and everybody knows what a Audi Coupe, UR Quattro Coupe, and UR Quattro Sport looks like right?

I certainly do as I have owned three, and even though it has a trunk that flips up instead of what looks to be a hatch, I always have had a problem with calling them Coupes as they just have so much of a different body style ...or so I thought.

You see when researching of whether or not I could put the roof cap on the suedo M3 (The E30 M3 has a slightly larger C pillar than the standard E30) I started playing with MSpaint and came up with this:

With just an extra little bit of sheet metal Tada! ...a BMW UR sport!

We'll let me tell you if I had the time I would have grafted these flanks on my wannabe M3 in a heartbeat just to mess with people's heads more than my BMW X7 minivan already does (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I even have a license plate all thought up... UR2SLOW
