Take one good E36 shell with a dead engine.

Take one rusty Capri with a good engine.

Mix in a bowl until thoroughly blended.

Bake at 220 degrees C for 25 minutes. (Times may be shorter for fan
assisted ovens.)

Result ?

Wrong - just wrong...

I can think of no viable reason for that conversion other than "Because I
can"
