Fist link didn't work.

I can't say it is the most attractive car. I thought puting VT kits on VN's were bad!! :tool:

If the Calais front was put on it, I'd concider it. :

that looks soo wired, i hate cars with modern, rounder body kits on older, square cars it just look so out of place and just plain ugly. why make an older car look like a newer car, why not just get the newer car in the first place, i mean for the price he paid for that conversion he could have got a cheap vt/vx

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

That is just... WRONG!!!

And I thought putting a MkII RS2000 front end on a escort panel van was wrong... at least then the lines work, not like that, err mess of a once nice panel van...

Yea i saw it the other day.

It does look a bit weird but thumbs up for managing to pull it off.

I remember seeing something about BA headlights in an EA, among other things...

Simple, he's talking about sandwiches with narcotics in them,
Telling us he's 'special'
Telling us about how he takes the beetroot out of the sandwich and throws it at Fords
Then, he tells us about how often he :tosser1:

Honestly though, that looks shocking, it stands out like a sore thumb.
Those last two looks much better, cause there's a bit of integration.

At least the Escort Panel Van is professionally done compared to the red VK in the second link! Just goes to show that the Commodore as a whole hasn't changed much from VK onwards.

I'd have to agree with most here and say that LOOKS absolutely shocking, though i do give credit for all the work that wouldve been put into it...

Oh and BTW i saw this AU with a BA front on it... looked nuts. Twas at fowles auctions, not for sale though

nice try, if it was done properly it wouldnt look bad at all, but its not been done properly so it looks shit.
to do it properly he'd have had to narrow the bonet and front bar about 5cm.
then everything might have a chance of lining up...

it looks verry wrong in the wheel arches, there is just wayy too much room.... plus the VL Aero kit just doesnt suit the front.
