Not all of it...

...but a 300bhp AWD Cooper S would be the finished product...

...along with a few from BMW/Porsche/Merc's Stable

AWD would make sense, really would sell the car and give it the edge it needs for

Renault 5 Turbo....

....you sure it wasnt a Dimma Bodykitted Renault Clio in Blue? It had Siera Sapphire Cosworth Engine and Running Gear.

That was on my Bedroom Wall for most of my early teens! Would have one now if it wasn't for the interior looking pap!

Nah this was a Renault 5 Turbo. I still have the copy.

It was a custom job. They bought all the bit from a scrap yard.
