Your best bet is to find another one. It is hard telling what would be under all that bondo.

your better off w/a different car. Who knows whats under the paint and its not like your just removing a body kit thats screwed/taped on. It looks like everything is molded so you'r also gonna be replacing a lot of parts that would just come unmolested on a different car.

Also, with the time/labor it'd take you just to get this car down to the stock body, you could have preped/painted a different car.

If that car was free it wouldn't be worth de-ricing. Pretty much every panel needs to be replaced.

If you've got the skills buy it then cut off the "vader" bumper mold a stock bumper w/spoon lip to the the rest of the wide body. The rear kind of reminds me of the C30.

I wanna see a pic from the back end. You know it has to have a tail light conversion and molded hatch or something to that effect.

I actually took on a similar project back in november. The only thing that was an issue when i was dericing my ek hatch, was the drill holes from where the rear wide bodykit was. Theres some pics in my sig from wat it was to wat it is now. That eg is fairly straight body, Its hard work but when its all done it feels great to have changed a slutty rice ***** into a beauty queen.

I like it the way it is...don't get it and destroy the work that was already done to it. Just get a relatively stock car.
