    I'm in 2 minds about it. There's something about it that seems good to me, but if I break it down and try and analyse it, it's all bad.

    Oh, and chop in the OP is so out of proportion. The VE is huge, but a car with that front would be monstrous

    It's got that 300c large front about it look at me look. That's ok but it doesn't fit into the cars shape, With the VE it's a good design and it needs too be fit into it rather then added too it.
    But in saying that i think it';s better then the Monaro front just.

    The wheels are kind of ridiculously huge, otherwise, I'm OK with the styling. If I had to critique it further, I'd say lose some of the swoopiness in favor of some more angular lines, and not favor the forward rake so much.
    An it harm none, do as ye will

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    Looks alright in my eyes, I'll wait to pass judgement until I see the rest of the car.

    pretty nice, cut pretty lame as well.
    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

    1972-74 HQ with the so-called 'BMW copyright infringement' split grille treatment, a very attractive car imo

    For trivia, the old HK-HG Broughams and following Stato DeVilles etc were the only GM cars worldwide to share the Cadillac Wreath badges (wow)

    Mine had a Holley + air shocks + duals + 11 mths reg but an ex-Darwin roughie with mega oxidised interior and a hole in one of the C pillars that looked like it was done by a forklift prong It caught fire on me one night in the middle of Canberra CBD

    Copy righted only better..
    Shared badges is always good..

    Might have been a ex warehouse car some someone got careless one night in the forklift.
    Hope you didn't get burned in it

    I seen something the other day that shocked me, A EL XR6 that was sitting in the car park looked like it was stolen and smashed sitting there, Looked like the left side was smashed into a tree or pole the B pillar was pressed in a good 5+ " and the doors half open windows smashed. Someone got in it and drove it away And i'm worried about my car
