Clearly it's a S1, but the guy must not know AUs well to make such an error.

Check out the gull wing door setup!

I don't think he knew au's at all cause he sounded unsure as to what the xls was. He says the bonnet was just temporary so I think that was just put there to cover the turbo set-up. I reckon it'd be worth it, once you get the kit sorted and get a series 3 interior it'd be a fully finished ute pretty much.

Yeah I agree, it would be pretty nice once you fixed the bonnet, maybe a BA XR8 bonnet, and redo the interior. $26,000 is a lot of money for something that may need another $3-4000 worth of work though

If those power figures are genuine I give that transmission about 5mins before it explodes.

Don't know if you could get a bonnet made, or a scoop, that would clear everything and be legal.

yes it will, those huge single piston calipers are painted red, which means it will stop faster

at least the doors open up, so if you have to bail out cause you can't stop in time it won't be hard to open them, lol
