Holy Moly! I quite like it actually... looks very American to me.
The side indicators are unusual.. are they 3 VZ indicators all together?

Wow. That sure is customised, isn't it?
And a Nissan V8? I wonder what they have done to it? This car is not really my cup of tea(!) but I'd be interested to hear how much time and money has gone into it, and what the owner set out to achieve. It looks a foot wider than a normal Monaro At the end of the day, if he/she have done what they set out to do, whatever the hell that is in this case, then great. Interesting to note.....the Ford headlight looks like it is in tears after what has been done to it!!

I was expecting an abomination the only things I dont like are the side vent indicators and Ithink the wheels suit an older American car.
Anyone know the story behind it |

The car was at Summernats about 3 years ago or so, and I got to chat with the owner/ builder about it. He built the car himself at home. I cant remember too much about the chat but I do remember he had a trade (either sheet metal or fitter and turner, and may have been originally from South Africa. The car was never built to stir emotions. Just built it for himself as a project. Whether you like it or hate it, have a look at the work that has gone into the car itself. He did all the metal work himself, and also modded the fibreglass bars aswell. I love how people will criticise everybody elses efforts, yet never put up any of their own for criticism. MRBAXR6T, if you can do better, I would love to see it. |

this particular car is locally built. although you would have to ask the question of why. Also bearing that in mind is the thought because they can.
