There are barely any Edsels left even in the US, which prat decided to do that to one?!

The digger bucket is made of wood, apparently!  The bits and pieces look to be purely cosmetic dress-up that could, one imagines, be fairly easily removed.

This: https://www.olx.ro/d/oferta/skoda-octavia-swap-v12-ferrari-testarossa-IDikBJW.html is doing the rounds on the internet at the moment.  The seller purports to be offering, for the grand sum of 5,600 Euros, a Skoda Octavia Mk1 with a Ferrari Testarossa flat 12 fitted under the bonnet and otherwise Q-car looks:

You've only got to google a few pictures of a Testarossa engine (or in the case of PH, pop out to the motor house and have a look at your own) and it should be obvious that the engine wouldn't fit lengthways in an Octavia.

True, but you could always cut a hole in the bulkhead.  The actual answer is that the Testarossa engine 'in' the Skoda has been put in back to front!  If it really were there and connected up, the forward gears in the transaxle would drive the front wheels backwards!

Given the number of drivers incapable of reversing properly, I would have thought such a car would be in demand.

Awful Taste But Great Execution.

I had to dredge my memory to recall the meaning of it too. I last saw it on Reddit a while ago.

If you are going to fit some aftermarket wheels they usually look better if they fill the wheelarches
