Crazy amount of electrical/electronic work, among other things!

Looks like a lot of engineering to do the rotary swap, but the 17" wheels just don't look right on a Europa. Makes the car look jacked up.

I would not have used a rotary, nor would I have done those flares (I've seen other flares that I thought looked good). I also would have probably kept or updated the wood dash. That' sort of reaction is to be expected when you introduce some types of mods and the seller introduce a LOT of mods. I think his mods are way past the point that it's not a Europa anymore for most Europa enthusiasts. But I have to say that a lot of thought and work went into that car and (as I posted on BaT) I think the seller and and car deserve a lot of respect and I hope they get it.

Ton of work, but for me, way more "mod" than "resto". Big wheels look way out of proportion, and not a rotary fan myself.

I think a chunk of the car's character sadly got lost in translation.

Car did not meet reserve but now has been sold for $15000 usd.

What a lot of work.

I cannot help but ask .......... why?
