Blown 202, that would be one redeeming feature. 

 

Honestly, each to his or her own, full props to old mate for making it happen, and by the sounds of it he will be chasing street rego (obviously not under the NCOP) so full props to him for going the length to get everything engineered and the like, thats a huge undertaking and massive amounts of skill, time, dedication, and money involved in the project. I dead set have a lot of respect for him, he is nearing completion a build to a level that I would probably never achieve, and im happy enough to admit that. 

 

But in short, I hated the expression session ideas at the time, I still hate them, and I hate this. 

 

Im 99.9999999999% confident i'll hate the finished product as well. 

 

Cheers.

The Donk looked ok, the Torana would look only good in Mad Max Fury Road.

I was told,

 

that you got to chop the roof to be a RAT.



So is just RAT like then.

Well...Its not a rat, its a "rod"

 

Its not a rod either, but meh. 

 

And no, a rat can be a rat without having the roof lower....Thought it would certainly help. 

 

Cheers.

It's not a driver. Looks like a photoshopped cartoon.

I like the individuality but dislike the product.

Would like to see what he could come up with doing a crazy wide-body to cover the wheels where they are.

 

At this stage, I'd prefer a full-body look.

Respect the fab work BUT
With the time and effort building that he could of built a real nice LJ.

Hey Dave ( NA-PWR ) looks like he stole your front end/grill idea in a stubby sort of way.

That's what I thought too Aaron,

 

I suppose I was robbing ideas from the Torana maker too,

 

as Holden spent millions developing the concept/production model,

 

for only us to RAT it.  :ph34r:

'The Gong' is making a 200mm wider LJ Grille to suit his 200mm wider LJ.  :clap:  :spoton:



Made from metal, I think is a good idea too.
