Yeah. I'll choose function over form every time.
Pretty does have it's place though. I may need to look for someone to tip some money in towards getting a ROPS cage put in. A fast, pretty car might help that. At the ned of the day no one wants their name on the side of a clunker.
I was asked a couple of times on the weekend if I had plans to turn it into a sports sedan. There are one or two guys up here with late model Jap imports and they can't find a category to race in due to CAMS being firmly locked into the 1980s unless it is a commodore or falcon. If they open up a sports sedan category they can ditch the restrictive IPRA regulations that exclude jap imports, and anything made in the last 20 years with a 'sporty' shape. (Rx-7, skyline, supra etc). It is a big spend in a short period for me though and I don't think I can make that step up financially.
