Something you’ve never seen before
Or maybe you have… This is an older Bugeye build from Taiwan (based on something I read about a decade ago so forgive me if I got that wrong ; )
Despite the obvious tons of modification I’m wondering if this didn’t start life as a WRX. It’s curiously left-hand-drive (though I guess TW is a LHD country), it lacks a rear windshield wiper, and it has a WRX scoop. And the most telling aspect – it has a third brake light (only equipped on wingless WRX’s; not equipped on STI’s or winged WRX’s with third brake lights on the wing; pointless to install later on). Sort of follows along the lines that if you know you’re going to replace everything anyway, may as well start with a WRX.
In any event, it’s one incredibly built bugeye.
