i like it!!! quite a lot actually, i would have messed around with the rear pillars a bit and layed them down a bit more to give it a bit more slipstream look, but all in all i really like it!!!!

Ehh, makes the car look too disproportionate IMO. Rook looks real small and the front end mainly, looks huge.

Nice ride,
Anyone seen the black falcon wagon with the 6-8 inch chop in Chullora, Sydney? It's a display car at a car yard just up the rd from where they shoot "Fat Pizza" on the Hume Hwy. I have been meaning to stop and take pics for months.... |

Looks great, there was an XC ute getting around Perth a few years ago very similar in a peach colour, haven't seen it for ages.
This does look good, very neat.

Nothing wrong with that, provided you're not so tall as to hit your head on the roof.

I am thinking of a firing squad at dawn with no blind fold for the person who commited such a heinous crime.
Thats one poor ute rooted. |

It's okay I guess - a little dis-proportionate. How about Kiwi plates though?? They just look like they were painted by the neighbours kids don't they??

New ones came out early '06 though with a smaller squarer font which are a lot better. I actually thought about getting my current plates re-issued. Lol. The chop looks quite good I reckon but I'd have no hope in hell of fitting in it.

I like it a lot. Almost looks like a El Camino.

What is worse, the Chop or dropping a 302W in it?

Not digging it, and that doesn't count the fact I would have to remove with my head or my butt to be able to sit in it.
