Erm...... Why?? FB/EK/VN!!??

[NORTI]

I can see alot of effort has gone into it, but I ask, why??

spotted this very different looking VN Commodore today. At first glance i thought the owner had dropped a VN Commy roof onto a FB/EK body. What he has done is convert the front and rear of FB/EK onto a Commodore body. VN V6 running gear/interior with full rego compliance as a Commodore.

wtf...the amount of work that would have taken...and the front and rear just clash too much!

[EvoVIIIJDM]

side on it looks too disproportionate. Front on looks the goods.

[Jecs]

*throws bricks at it*

[NORTI]

Something NEEDS to be done with the roof! Stands out way too much!!

[Cobez]

That thing, is especially haneous in the extreme.

I love it, its ****ing sexy, I can see things clash, but its still so sexy, good way to bring back an old car with modern day comfort.

[knowledge_is_power]

Wow that was some dedication. I think it was a good idea, it would be great to have modern versions of the classic, but it didn't work.

I think the front end looks good but the back is where it really suffers. And either the front needs to be lower or the door lines need to be higher. But the back just doesn't work.

I say good try, everyone wants to be an individual.

[DVOLVO]

Would like to see the engine bay..
But I give them full marks it would of been hard to of done let alone do it..

But it does look like the front is bent down and rear is bent up..

[Skitz]

The window line needs to be level with the windscreen,and the roofline chopped for that setup.
Other than that,10 points for trying.

baaaahahahahhaaaaaaa thats disgustinggggg
wat a waste of money

[Astranomical]

Not really my taste, but still, you have to agree, the workmanship on this thing is excellent.

[88GreenVN]

What were they thinking

But if you drive an old EK - this would be a limo.

It has the reaction the builder wanted.

They just got the nose too long and needs a big chrome 454 out the bonnet

[Jecs]

should'a just saved his money, built a tuff motor and make a skid pig VN. what a complete write off..

So use the old shell and rework the interior and mechanical.

Don't slap panels from the old onto a newer car. It looks terrible.

Yeah I agree in view, it would be easier and still be an EH, but you could never make a EH drive or be as comfortable as a VN, theirs steering geomtetry and wheel base etc, i personelly like the car, but who ever mentioned roof chop, YES OMG YES, it would look so good with a roof chop, maybe 3 inches.

For the amount of money he would have invested to get all those custom panels, there are a hell of alot of things you can do to an old car like that to get it driving alot better.

Sure you may never be able to get it as good as a VN, but at least you don't have a car that looks like a turd. The roof line angles and height are just so wrong for the rest of the car.

[sixshooter]

Hahaha !!! thats the funniest car I've seen in a while !

Looks like some one kicked it up the arse and it's front end flung out 6ft on impact.

weird !!!

[AttaBoy]

Whata waste. My eyes are hurting. One of the ugliest thing I've ever seen. The owner needs to be shot!!!

[Troy711]

firsth thing i thought of was '4 door chezoom'

i think if the front window was sloped back a few degrees, the rook was chopped 3 inches, the rear doors filled/removed and the front doors extended it would look alot better. full credit for what they have done, it just looks too much like a VN with a poor nose job

[AttaBoy]

The front is big enough to drop a V12.

[minux]

There is now one Holden that is uglier than the VL...this is it.

[Garth]

i disagree, there is no thing uglier than a vl. it's just not possible






i agree with the workmanship. serious effort, time and skill, but not my taste, aslong as the driver or owner likes it, who cares.

[greenfoam]

As happyslips dad would say

"Disassteeeer"

[UNKNOWN]

Spew spew, I can appreciate the work thats been done but its ugly!
