Holy Moly! I quite like it actually... looks very American to me.
The side indicators are unusual.. are they 3 VZ indicators all together?

Wow. That sure is customised, isn't it?
And a Nissan V8? I wonder what they have done to it? This car is not really my cup of tea(!) but I'd be interested to hear how much time and money has gone into it, and what the owner set out to achieve. It looks a foot wider than a normal Monaro At the end of the day, if he/she have done what they set out to do, whatever the hell that is in this case, then great. Interesting to note.....the Ford headlight looks like it is in tears after what has been done to it!!

I was expecting an abomination the only things I dont like are the side vent indicators and Ithink the wheels suit an older American car.
Anyone know the story behind it |

pretty grotty isnt it.
this particular car is locally built. although you would have to ask the question of why. Also bearing that in mind is the thought because they can.

This is car is on the EPIC FAIL thread. Its there for a reason... I wonder why? I give 9.8 outta 10 for ingenuity, 0.0 for style...
Yep found it.... http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...3&page=9&pp=30 post: 258 As for the rebuild story, look at the body its supposed to be restored from. The body is a pretzel, & I dont think the chassis would be in the best of shape either... I doubt that one very much. But I'm happy to be PROVEN wrong.....
