When I first saw the pic I did not pick up on the rear end at first and I thought how did he get 5 studs on, always liked that particular pattern of wheel, then I looked closer and thought, strewth its a hatch!

As you can see from the photos, it did look rather odd, at times, during the conversion, and I even drove it around in between, did get some odd looks from other drivers!!

A BIG THANK YOU to geoff for all your kind words of encouragement, and for bringing my creation in to the limelight!!
I had planned on taking it to Billing 2006, but, unfortunately, circumstances dictated otherwise, however, it will definitely be at the shows next year, I just need to get the leaky gearbox sorted, oh, and the overheating problem!!

Nice woks?? I dont even like chinese food!! 
Quick update on the "ultima hatchback" she failed her m.o.t a couple of weeks ago.... only a holey passengers side inner sill and a t.c.a bush!!I was gonna s.o.r.n her over the winter anyways, so have had a new inner and outer sill fitted, and t.c.a bush, so she will be able to pass second time round, then, hopefully, I will get some time over the winter, to finish her off, ready for meets next year!
