Default old school Papadakis pics

Does anyone have pics of Papadakis before his first tube frame car? I've never seen any.

I don't have any, but... I've seen a few before. It was a black EF hatch. That's about all I remember. Didn't see no engine bay shots.

Kinda and not really. The old black car was cut up as a front half car for the Yellow Hatch. Although about a 1/4 of the way through the project they said screw it and made an entire tube frame car and bolted the new skins on. None of the old car was used.
