    Wow! I see some great mods for my daily driver...

    1. Replace the glass window with plexiglass and just have a sliding door to stick your hand through at the drive-thru's. I have been driving mine for 6 months with both windows unusable, so what is a few years....

    2. Sunglasses case attached to the door frame, within easy reach while driving the freeways....

    3. Fuse panel easy access while driving....

    4. Decals to cover the cladding dings and chipped paint areas....

    5. Exterior latches for the rear door for those times I park on an uphill incline and the rear popper release allows the door to swing open rapidly without any restraint until the hinges stop it....

    I can't wait to see the audio system Biju will get to make this rig sound good while driving....

    I'm curious about the orange one in the background. Is it just me or does it look like the roof is chopped off behind the second windows?

    The orange one is a Ute (short for "Utility"), the modern descendant of the not-a-car/not-a-truck El Camino type thing that the Australians just seem to love. From the cab shape my bet is that its likely the current model Ford Falcon Ute:

    Its a "ute" alright ...but I still think its a cut down VX. Look at the windshield angle and the window behind the door....2 seat VX!

    For NOT a VX. The rake is more the second window is too small and the curves of it is not right either.

    I should email some of my Falcon friends from Australia...they should be able to discern if it is a ute or not...

    Bruce Garland's rigs were quite impressive.







    I fit, but getting in and out was a pain:

    I agree! He can "Pimp my ride" (better than a stack of Amps)

    I like the underhood shots and shock towers..... :_drool:
