    I saw the Red Pointer showcar, it was a worked Tiburon (get the connection in the name?), it had custom scissor doors. Actually it didn't look too flash.

    The Ute's roof was chopped and lowered as well I think.

    im not sure on exact figures but ive heard $300K being mentioned as an all up figure for the body. that includeds necessary upgrades to the front aerodynamics to keep its face planted about 250km/h which at that point in a normal XR6T, the front starts to rise as APS found out

    but yeah, the doors also have those big vents in them from the front wheel arches, plus i think its got 12 inch wide tyres so that means some massive flaring of the guards......by the end of it all, they'll probably just get one of the Nispo 900kw engines and pop it in

    i guess the proportions of the roof and doors can make or break it......with the chopped roof, i guess it made it a bit easier..

    but the true gullwings, they had the curved doors as well, like the bottom of them popped out from the top

    i would like to win the lottery, but a house next to the beach, and some cool cars.

    then i would use the rest while im at uni, get out of uni and actually work, unlike the rest of people who win the lottery

    My great Aussie dream: To re-establish Valiant as an Aussie car maker an design cars for them (and making millions of dollars), then make enough money to buy Jag from Ford (That'll be worth bugger-all in a few years, Ford's making sure of that), then revitalise the company by designing cars for them (earning millions and millions).

    Plus I would buy the Dockers from Rick Hart and change the uniform to look even more homosexual, then eventually sack all the players (Pavlich can go to the Weagles).

    I would then go into the Movie business and make the greatest movies ever seen, and uncover the next Jessica Alba - then sleep with her. Numerous times.

    I'll also have Jennifer Hawkins too, on the premise that I'll be a lot richer than her boyfriend and if it comes to it I could probably beat him up....

    EDIT: I'd probably make a Ute into a portable esky which carries nothing other than Southern Comfort and Coke.
