[urq] goofy fenders?

I don't get all the hubbub about this car.  It is obvious that it is a 
real ur q that someone with poor taste spent a fair amount of time and 
probably money reducing the car's desirability and therefore value.  
Those flairs alone look like $4k in damage to me.

Seeing that the fenders have been irretrievably messed up already, I 
think that car would be a perfect candidate for a long wheelbase Sport 
quattro body kit. Other than the horrible flairs, the body looks decent, 
so it would be perfect to build a monster from.   I sure wouldn't feel 
bad cutting that car up.   I would go so far is to say it NEEDS it.  
Make something like this out of it:

My guess is that this dealer has no idea how messed this car is, and 
thinks that they will get $7500 or so.  If they had any idea of what 
people look for on these cars, they would have shown a picture of the 
engine compartment.  Just think of what _that_ looks like.   Makes me 
cringe just to think about it.

I'll bet this car doesn't go for much more than it is at right now, if 
even that much.  Hopefully whoever buys it will look at it first.  There 
are probably many other scary things about it.
