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.

It must cause the stewards to go into a headspin when trying to work out which row of Holden models to put it in at the All Holden Day. 

Someone has gone to a lot of trouble.

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

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.... ???

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

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)

some cool panel work happening there but it's kinda weird.

maybe grafting an EK and FE would have gained more praise.

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..

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.

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.

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

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.  ::)

ps. Leon, I like the little mod to your avatar. Bet you thought no-one would notice.  ;)

i guess people will have to get used to seeing these cars with early model grafts because its becoming quite popular but thats the first aussie one ive seen.
