That actually looks awesome. Ford should've made an E-Series Ute.

[rob_o]

I quite like it. I think that the wagon tail lights look way better than the standard ute lights. $24,000??? ummmmm.... dont think so

[Kryton]

looks ok to me. wouldnt buy it though even if i could afford it.

[pepsimax]

i quite like it and i bet the price is just what he spent on it,,

[XP6]

Aboimnation, no way it looks to be a very good conversion IMHO

[Peuty]

I think you will find that this particular car is a Hillier conversion.

[MAD]

I like it!.... Well apart from being an EA underneath.

The tail lights and rear end treatment are awesome I reckon.

[XR Martin]

Lets spend all that money on the exterior yet leave that 3speed (Cfi motor I bet too) turd in it :rolleyes:

An XH is pretty much the same thing and you could get an XR8 for less than that.

[Smoked]

looks absolutly horn, but not for that price i dont think.

I think that car is made for people who are into one off, 'concepts' if you will, and that justifies the price.

[WIKIDSTIX]

mmm, gotta love custom jobs :sm_drool: how kool iz dat, and to fink its an ea. crazee

[FNQracing]

Very nice custom EA.

But you have to wonder some peoples thinking. As cheap as EA's are.... Why on earth base it on a 3 speed slush'o'matic and a Carby 4.1????!!!!!! Not that there was such an engine in EA anyway.... A lot of money would have been puumped into that, its a real shame the running gear is such a let down.

[klawsterfobik]

that looks fantastic..

[outback_ute]

Looking at the rear overhang I suspect it may have been based on a wheelchair taxi. Then again Hilliers could have done that too. Looks pretty good, you wonder whether the guys at Ford had the AU ute ideas years earlier and were denied the chance to use them.

[paul7v7]

certainly looks different. not sure if i like it or hate it.

[rag top]

I'm confused. What's a 4.1 Carby motor that has fuel injection?? makes me wonder if it is based on an XF/EA hybrid.

Wouldn't mind some interior shots though!

[mick.wheelz]

now do that to an el xr8 and it would be nice...

[Duffman]

Its not too bad but its just a chop of so many cars in one. Would be ok if they worked the engine and gearbox but they still cant justify the 24k price tag.

It looks like they are trying to recover all the money they have lost for the price they want you could get your self into a BA rather then a ea/ef/wagon/ute/xr.

[loxxr6]

Appearance wise it's pretty cool.

I like it.

[Feathers]

It's different. I'm not sure I personally like the front. But if there's someone out there willing to fork out the cash for it, then good for them.

[merlin]

what does the badge on the back say? I tried zooming but it just blurs - looks like it says COMMODORE

[Olympus]

A bit pricey, but it looks a hell of a lot nicer than an XH ute.

[clampy]

it is the hilliers ute..

i fell in love with it when i first saw it... ford should've used the wagon tail lights all along instead of using the 'invented in 1979' style on utes until AU.

tho not so sure about it now....

anyway, the rear glass is from a commo ute.

[clampy]

badge says 'hillier conversions'

[AUIII XR8 MAN]

It looks ok to me. A lot of work has gone in the car as it is finish off well. But I do think it is overprice.

So it was an EA wagon in its previous life?

[Bucknaked]

I like it. Looks great

[neb]

that looks really good!! turned out really well.. but very expensive

[big_pete]

looks very nice.
if it were cheaper it would be great to buy and stick a hi-po engine/driveline in it.
then you'd have a kickass streeter that no one else has....
