Default Converted Cars

Yesterday, when I was driving down Roe Hwy, I was what on my quick glance, looked like a GC8, but when I looked properly, it didnt look right, took me a second to work it out, it was a Lancer, with a WRX body kit, the scoop, bumper, and everything.
Who-ever it was, had done a pretty good job of making it look like a rex....sorry guys, no photos as I was driving.....

The other strange one Ive seen recently was a Hyundai Getz, converted into a small camper like thing.



Anyone else seen some strange or funny conversions? (yep Im bored, got the day off of work )

Thats what I reckon, save the cash and put it towards a nicer car rather spend it on a crapbox

Maybe because the lancer was a hand-me-down from the parents or something.. and they didn't have the extra 15k lying around so they thought of the 2nd best thing??
