Hmmmm.....
Lets see, if I can:
1. Travel to Europe (Italy/Germany/France/???).
2. Purchase a LHD Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evolution II.
3. Seperate the engine and other mechanicals.
4. Ship the car over to the US in pieces.
5. Re-assemble the car over here.
6. Find/purchase a cheap 1980-81 Ford Fiesta.
7. Swap vin #'s.
8. De-badge it.

I might be able to actually drive it on the street  Hmmmmmmm......
If I get pulled over I'll just tell the officer that it is a Ford Fiesta
with a bodykit.
That would work out here in CA considering all the "bodykitted beyond
recognition" Hondas and Acuras out here.
8^)))))))

Yeah, probably a hair-brained idea.....oh well...
