I saw a Falcon in a car park either an EF or EL with a terrible body kit and an EL GT grill.

Yes, that's a Daihatsu Midget

The original 3-wheeled version came out in 1963.
Single cylinder
Weight-425kg
Power-9kW

The 4 wheel version (retro like the mustang, camaro, etc) came out in 1998
Inline 3 cylinder
659cc
Weight-570kg
Power-25kW
Torque-55Nm

Unsure of the carrying capacity but I think it's something like 300kg.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!!!!!!

I love those little things...they're even more of a giggle than a Nissan S-Cargo.
No good for the country highways of course, but there's nothing that says you can't have a laugh while you're cruising around the heavy city traffic!

We have tons of badges from old Holdens, Fords and Valiants.
I seriously considered putting the 351 badges we have on my Telstar when I had it, I was also going to put the genuine GT badges on the front where the Ford badge goes (they didn't really have a grille) and on the rear garnish where the Ford badge went. It would've been funny as balls.

Probably lucky I didn't as they might be worth something one day, also they're dads and I'd likely cop a floggin' if they were stolen.

Wonder what sort of tyre rub he gets on this. eeek and what size donk is in it. Nice job on the body work though. Plenty of lead in it I bet.

Edit.... Thanks James I see now.... Watch out for the trolleys.. put a damn big hole in the body work

Im going to call that a win, sorry guys, I dont think I have seen anything like it before. Sure I wouldnt be seen dead it in, but thats a fair effort!

Although if its running a 4 pot diesel then I retract my statement.

I only just looked in the background of that picture and saw the two ATMs and the KFC to the right...that's the carpark at the Emerald Woolworths, I know it well...the carpark with no lines, just little bumps on the bitumen to try and line up your park...
I'll have to keep an eye out for that car next time we go to do some shopping.

Bullbar? Yep, out here it's nothing unusual to see a brand new HSV fitted with a bar...
