03-03-05, 17:17 GMT+10#61 Putting parts of another car onto a car that wasn't in that series should be made illegal, like imbreeding (better known as tasmanianism) is...
These people should be dealt with to the full extent of the law and forced to drive around in a completely stock pink Hyundai Excel with NO bonnet mounted chrome gauges, NO WRX bonnet scoop, NO big ass ricer wing, NO ridiculously oversized exhaust tip and NO "NOS" seatcovers.
The sentence should be handed out for 1-10 years depending on the severity of the "abortion" (<-- Credit goes to Petros for his word )
Repeat offenders should be forced to drive a completely stock Datsun 200B for a period of minimum 3 years.
Then we shall see how many looks they get from retards who know close to nothing about cars.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

03-03-05, 17:22 GMT+10#62 I just don't see the motorvation behind the idea.
I mean anyone can cut a front off one car and fit it to another.
I could go get a BMW front end and put it onto a commodore.
Doesn't prove a thing though, its no engineering feat fitting different panels.
Maybe this guy couldn't find a calais front, so just went overboard and put a vy front instead?
Weird, I just can't work it out...

03-03-05, 20:16 GMT+10#63 Maybe it was a write off and he wanted something different, as someone said earlier, it looks too front heavy now, and the flared front guards dwarf the rims..
BTW, The Mountain View carpark is never a nice place anyway, why make it worse with that thing..

03-03-05, 20:50 GMT+10#68 I think it looks hideous, there's nothing worse than a VL looking half like something else. Definately unique though.

04-03-05, 09:23 GMT+10#80 Well, im not a fan of it. I think the EL/EF Falcon with the BA XR rear bar, side skirt and the XT front bar looks better. Once painted it will look good!!
