That little honda monster thing is awesome, thats a win for sure.

The Fairlane, well, those bloody family stickers are enough for me to say fail even before looking at the rest of the rubbish.

No pic but I had the usual VE SS with bow ties in front of me the other day, with the added bonus of the insert on the rear bar and front painted the same dull gold as the badge. I nearly puked.

ive seen a few ba/f's like that, but all were courier utes so i figure they were just trays or tail gates that have been swapped between vehicles.

no reason why tail gates wouldnt be interchangeable and im guessing that the whole trays would probably only need a change of mounts to be swapped round.

after all, theyre only a flat tray, not exactly the height of automotive complexity...
