    Just kiddin 70MAVE, have fun with creating your looks. Hopefuly you don't find anything majorly wrong as to why it's been put together that way, I think your MAV-MET looks like a good candidate for toying with.:yup:

    Very interesting...looks like a nice project either way. Could always leave it that way and confuse people when you're driving around.

    I worked in an auto parts store and one of our customers was a body shop which was next door. He called me one day laughing and said you gotta see this. So I go over and there is a car sitting in the shop. He said "what is it" so I said it is a Crown Victoria. He said go to the other side, so I walk around and the other side which said Grand Marquis. :hmmm: Now this was a car that was less than a year old at the time. Must have been one of those days in the factory or a practical joker on the assembly line.:huh: :huh: :coco:

    I had a freind that worked for Ford in the 70's and had lots of warranty claims for just that. These things will happen at the end of a model run. His LAST COMPANY CAR WAS A HALf a Monarck and half a granada on the outside. The inside was even more confusing as it had power windoms on one side and roll ups on the other. Granada seats and Mercury dash.

    Talk about Identity confussion.

    He came to Nissan in the 80's and thought it would be better. It was not uncommon to get a load of cars all marked wrong. In this case the US car had a different name. 240-300Z were called "Fair Lady" sports cars. One small car in the usa was called the Pulsar, but it was the Cherry in japan. We got shipments of both. Ford was not alone in this.
