Customization gone very wrong

From that to this:

I was searching through my old spares box and came across the parts of a Lesney Mercedes-Benz 220SE that I had tried to 'customize' sometime back in the '70s. However, unlike the Maserati Mistral, I didn't have all the parts, and the ones I did have were pretty far gone. In a spirit of restoration - or maybe just being full of spirits :-) - I decided to superglue together what was left, and that improbable vehicle was what resulted.

It was -20C here last night. Driving around in that Mercedes would give new meaning to 'cool ride'.
