I don't know whether I like it or I don't but never the less there is something very cool about the idea. I love Toranas (obviously) and i love the gemini wagons so really this should be a dream car but it sort of doesn't flow.

Yeah its not a bad effort.. I don't hate it! LOL.

It would be good to see the front flared, or the rear unflared... LOL

Top marks for giving it a crack though

Agreed with the flairs only on the back thing, thats a bit strange.....

I'll assume they had a commy diff or something sitting around and couldent have bothered getting it shortened.

And the back end just needs something, much as i hate to admit it i think Gemini tailights grafted in there would suit the rear styling more......

The front and side profiles are shit hot though, i like it a lot.

Cheers.

darn hell of a lot better than that other hippy looking van there was pics of kicking around on here once before.

I ditto what most have already said don't mind it from front but back end look's just not quite right.

i dont mind it. i reckon it would look a heap better without the rear flares, some better wheels, proper stance and in all honesty i think it would look 100 times better if it had an lc front and tail lights.
all in all it looks pretty cool and definately something different.

^ Agree with the above, let's be honest though, I'd love to own any of them (well maybe onl the UD if it was a real car, not a clay model)

And I also must say, I didn't know that the UD was going to be released with SS hubcaps on widened stockies hahahaha factory fitted 345/50/R13 rear tyres? Awesome

Hands down the most ugliest car i've seen in a very long time.

I feel bad saying that, as the owner probably went to a lot of work...

Then again, ya don't see that everyday.

Yeah it has a Buick front end and shit. It's awful, the top and bottom edge of the door are not parrallel, the whole bonnet area has been angled down towards the road etc. Crazy, but not beneficial. I can post more photos if you want

Saw that "Hippy looking van", as seen in the Carsales add, the other night in the evening peak hour going south from Brissie.
He managed to hit an offramp before I could catch him

That one actually looks a helluva lot better in the flesh, it's lines flow and it doesn't look anywhere near as odd as the pics make it seem.
That paintjob needs to go tho

This one is nice, agreed about the rear, just needs something - drop down centre section?
Relocate the fuel filler XU-1 V8 style?

I like it.(the black one) Thats almost exactly what a custom van should be.Obsenity was the name of the game,and this car has it in spades.I reckon it only needs a repaint and some muriels. And a ridiculous amount of chrome.

For the benefit of the discussion (and as Rana girl kinda hinted at me lol), here is the other vehicle in discussion.

These photos were stolen off the internet, I didn't take them myself. So I shouldn't be allowed to post them, because that is the rules of the internets according to an admin here. You are in immediate proximity of a criminal!

EDIT: Ohhh yeah make sure you look at the shape of the side doors lol
