    Where did it come from? Does anyone know what car its supposed to be for?

    It is quite the most amazingly bad piece of fabrication I have ever seen. My cat has made better welds than that by standing on the torch!

    I just double checked. It was from a renault 19 16v turbo

    Considering it's french it may have came from the factory like that.
