The bubble is a mat on the floor with an industrial zipper about 200mm up from the base. Two computer fans run continuously blowing air through the system, there is a small zipper at the rear to allow air to pass through if required,
The charge on your electricity bill is not even worth mentioning, we run three computers here around the clock as it is. I think that Dean may have this mixed up with something off Lost in Space.
Regards CAMLIN.

The bubble is mainly there for little people with pushbikes,skateboards and the veiwers who want to open and close doors, lean on and dust etc.
I take the car out a least once a fortnight, the bubble has a zipper at the rear for air flow if you are not in a dusty area.

hell there ol girl !
Well the 2" system sounds pretty sharp to me, the engine is a 179HP block with the head and big cam jamming it out through extractors, got the old school sound/thump, does the job in my book. Maybe that guy at the exhaust shop only fits the pizza ovens to the rice burners!

Thanks for the Positive feedback Fellas'
The wiper motor is off an EK with a HR 2 speed switch, also the bucket seats are from a Holden Barina, leather covered, with mercedes benz plush carpet on the floor, the parcel shelf is leather covered as well as centre console, the twin 2" exhaust is real.
The Ute was originally built by Darren Cook at Tamworth NSW. I purchased it off Darren and stripped it back to bare and resprayed and modified some more, Darren had already completed most of the hard work. The Barina seats work great as they are the only bucket seat that will have the steering column positioned in the centre of the seat, and give good clearance to the doors.
Everything on the Ute is Holden {GMH} doesn't really do it for me to have a 58' with a Celica gearbox or Isuzu steering column etc!
