This is cool and all but what about the warranty?!

I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the fine print that chopping the car in half voids the warranty.

Though would be interesting to see if you can still claim on the engine.

So will all the seats be genuine HSV?

Also will you be able to get 19" tyres with a higher load ratings?

Hey guys thanks for the interest, I'll try and get to all questions; I'll have to get back to some of them tonight.

Images will be re-posted later today too without the logo/business name.

The car will be out of the paint shop this week and they'll then be getting into the interior!

Funnily enough, the salesman did try and upsell extended warranty, but was kindly told not to worry if cutting the car in half would cause a problem there

Due to the configuration of the rear cabin (3 forward, 2 side, 3 backward) and those back and side facing seats having to fit in different positions we couldn't have genuine HSV, however our builder and their trimmer are replicating the HSV seats with a nice subtle touch of red. (the existing seats will of course be re-trimmed to match) We should have some interior shots in the next couple of weeks...

We wanted to keep the original 19" rims and yes we were able to get the right tyres with a higher load rating (I'm not sure on the brand, sorry).

i know the early girls twisted like a leaf and more fords were stretched than commos

how much structual changes/additions have gone into these? very curious

How much will the car weigh once it's been fully decked out?

I'll get back to you on those Q's tonight.
