Holly thread resurrection I know but we have discussed this car in other threads and i felt guilty for hijacking said threads.
It appears this thing was back out a couple of weekends ago at the Lady Wigram Revival meet at Ruapuna raceway near Christchurch.
These threads contain photos of it in the background:

Redzone - I think Prozac knew who owned it in Christchurch, I'm not down there at the moment otherwise we would have had a lot more photos of it (almost 100% that I would have gone to that meeting)

I think there is something quite awesome about a car with an extremely wild body kit, massive wheels, crazy motor! Those escorts and such in those links are sweet cars! Not the same anymore with the modern cars...

Nothing as wild as the group b rally days. Give me one of those body kits any day.

Found it, the same guy still has it. Its now safely stored out near the racetrack because of earthquake risk. (it got some minor damage)
It has a VR4 engine and Toyota W55 now, but he still has all the original parts he has ever changed, including the dog legged gearbox.
He is happy to chew the fat and show you the car redzone, I have contact details etc.
