i ve always wondered why Ford especially on the pusuit and the super pursuit utes dont get tubs made with no holes as it looks cheap and nasty on the high end priced utes to have a hosper cap covering the tonneu cover holes


great job in getting em filled looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get any photos before the headlights and bumper were removed, but this'll do. These were taken back in 2002.

Not impressed with the Skylines structural roof strength.

Particularly nice job on the yellow XR.

This was shown at a Swedish bike show to show people what can happen if you make the wrong decisions. The bike was estimated to be travelling at 250ks and would have travelled over 300ft before the rider could make a decision on what to do. So reckon he had no time to even react. If showing this saved one life it would have been worth it.

While visiting a museum the owner told us how many GT's in the early 70's were reshelled with blank shells from the factory, restamped and onsold.
It was said it was a triffing buissnes back then, dealing/repairing written off (insurance) Gt's and also monaro's.
So there must be some serious amount of reshelled, nonoriginal GT's now still running arround and almost impossible to detect.
