Title: O/T EK Commodore Post by: customFC on May 25, 2008, 12:16:25 AM Pics of this car have been showing up on other forums, just thought that some folks from here may not have seen it. I felt it was different enough that no-one would mind that it is O/T.

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble. Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: pedro on May 25, 2008, 09:29:32 AM Yuk, that would have to be the most horrible looking mismatch of parts i have ever seen, I normally don't comment much on cars i don't like as i know it is somebodys pride and joy but that just looks wrong :o :o :o :( >:(
Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: mikey on May 25, 2008, 09:48:05 AM That is using your powers for evil instead of good in my opinion. Why ??? ???
I like commodores and I don't mind FB's and EK's but not together sort of how I like steak and ice-cream but certainly not together on the same plate. Cheers M Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: Sheriff on May 25, 2008, 10:51:04 AM WHY would you do that? All credit though for the job done, but WHY? They say beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder, so I can only assume it was conceived after lots of the stuff.... ???
Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: pedro on May 25, 2008, 11:19:24 AM Don't know if beer would have been strong enough, The way that looks i'd say they were on some pretty heavy mind altering drugs :D, whoever did it has certainly got talent just no taste
Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: FC427 on May 25, 2008, 02:15:21 PM Man that car has had some work done on it, a big job to say the least hats of to whoever performed the transformation !!!! Why do I feel ILL .......FC427......

Kathi 8) Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: smithy on May 25, 2008, 10:26:50 PM ive seen this a couple of times on other forums and i would have to agree that yeah a lot of work has been done but it looks like dr frankenstein was away for the weekend and let igor play with the machines :D
credit to him for the effort but in my opinion the lines are just so wrong, raise the belt line on the window about an inch and both the front and rear sheet metal could do with a couple of inches ( a lot) taken out. proportions are all over the place :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ but im with you kathi, nice T bird 8) 8) Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: sexyfc on May 25, 2008, 10:30:57 PM holly molly, whats going on here. Thats a bad mutation!!! Good work but, why why why..
Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: Ed on May 26, 2008, 08:46:59 AM some cool panel work happening there but it's kinda weird.
maybe grafting an EK and FE would have gained more praise. Cheers Ed Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: sexyfc on May 26, 2008, 09:21:43 AM yeah your right ed, the 2 different era's of cars, the round and the straight lined just doesnt blend.

What was he thinking........ I know, it was one of those junkyard wars where they had to make 1 car from 2 even though they were 40 years apart........Boyd Coddington it aint. Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: steamman on May 29, 2008, 11:15:30 AM :o :o :oWell that should inspire someone to do an fe or fc commodore!
Cheers Deano Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: Johns on May 29, 2008, 12:24:04 PM To quote my daughter ( and her friends),

Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: FC0058 on May 29, 2008, 07:55:48 PM Wander if he is running the big block 138 under the bonnet.
May have looked a little better if it was a VB or VC crumple door as they are a little rounder.. Cheers Jim Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: weddo on May 30, 2008, 01:16:23 PM I wonder what bits he found first , and if he grafted either end to the middle or the middle to either end ??? Whether you think it is ugly or not (I think it is ugly) it is still a lot of work.
regards Weddo Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: NO NAME on May 30, 2008, 07:23:32 PM he bought this bottle of new turtle wax polish, thought he would give it a burl on the old VN commodore, he still needs to polish the roof and doors.
Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: customFC on May 30, 2008, 09:31:59 PM I would be interested to know if this car is legally registered with these mods.
I can't see how it could be with the elimination of crumple zones and energy absorption bumpers etc Regards Alex Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: NO NAME on May 31, 2008, 11:09:45 AM I would be interested to know if this car is legally registered with these mods. thats the first thing i thought too.I can't see how it could be with the elimination of crumple zones and energy absorption bumpers etc Regards Alex Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: pedro on May 31, 2008, 02:20:52 PM It's got number plates and i think that's a rego sticker on the rear window, don't know how they did it if i was doing the inspection i'd fail it because it was an abomination ;D ;D
Pedro F4 Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: customFC on May 31, 2008, 05:31:37 PM Hmmmm, I just heard a report that the car mods may have been performed to comply with the necessary regs. That would be an impressive bit of work.
Seems a shame many can't get past their first impressions though. ::) Regards Alex ps. Leon, I like the little mod to your avatar. Bet you thought no-one would notice. ;) Title: Re: O/T EK Commodore Post by: NO NAME on May 31, 2008, 06:11:15 PM Hmmmm, I just heard a report that the car mods may have been performed to comply with the necessary regs.
