Default OMG!!! So different....I like it, what do you think?

A current ebay item that needs to be seen to be believed. I'd like to see some one finish her off. Even if any of you wanted to play with photoshop to give us a better look at the end result.

Anyway take a look......

Different is one way of describing it, I think like you say you'd need to see the finished product to pass judgement

HAH, how cool is that, ive always wanted to built a high-lift 4wd corty.

BTW i dont see it as being a waste, it is a rusty incomplete shell with no id tags.... only other thing its good for is scrap metal.. kudos to the guy for his idea.

Thats a disgrace, just wrong.

Having said that, ive seen one a few years ago in a car yard in geelong for sale. It was complete, a gunmetal grey mockup SS hatch on a 4WD chassis, running a 253 on gas. Actually looked ok, from memory they wanted around 8 grand for it.

When he says "mounted" it looks more like "resting"

Each to their own, the body shape doesn't suit it. Saw a Monster Truck Camaro on a DVD my kids have and I admire the engineering but don't like the style. I agree that The Hulk is one of the better ones going around though...

So nobody has ever seen mud trials and the cars they use to race in them? Its a clapped out LX shell that someones using to make a mud racer, what's wrong with that? It's not meant to be a mint condition showcar, hell its not even meant to be anywhere near roadworthy!
