I guess it's just a body, not a chassis... and who knows how much of it is original. Theoretically a lot of that could just be reproduction panels and trim.

Imagine someone stepping on that weird side skirt. I do admit, I have wondered what an air dam would have looked like on a car like ours but . . . better-designed. I do recall seeing some front spoilers on some R107 Euro cars that resembled some off of the W113 concepts (where the under-bumper fog lights would typically be installed).

Here's an idea from 5 seconds in photoshop.
