Every time you see one of these, I always am forced to wonder, I know there's the engineering challenge, and for some that's the whole point - the thrill of the chase, etc - but certainly in the case of the Omega how much would it cost to buy/ship the back end of an accident damaged Holden Ute? Or just the whole car? really? vs the cost and time of making an Omega pickup.

I respect the time and skills involved hugely, but it's a very odd thing to make your own version of a car that almost exactly exists already.

That's the least of the issues, as the modified monocoque means it needs a BIVA test to be legal.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I assume there is some cross-pollunation there somewhere as that window shape looks identical?!

Has anyone ever done a holden front end on here? My brothers in Oz ;)
