What happened to this wagon ...

This looks like it used to be a very special custom to someone .... but it has seen better days.

Anyone have any history on a custom like this?

Interesting dash wood trim, I'd ask if the engine was modified.

I believe the kit you are talking about is the boschert (spelling?) edition and I am not personally a fan.

If I remember correctly, forum member sinyo1 has a very nice example of this kit on a coupe.
