Legal Holden Ute

I want it. I want it now.

[DCIV]

40k!!!!! For an elco!!!!! No.

He said "less than" 40k.

I'd find a Chevy SS that had been rear ended and use that for a donor car. Then get a VF Ute back-half.

I guess it’s cool in its own way but you can say the same for a fixed up Baja or a newer turbo diesel Gladiator as well.

[vr4]

I'd rock the hell out of one. Love them.

[Chris GTO TT]

They are cool but there are a lot of other 2 seat cars I'd buy for 40k before those.

[alienviking]

Want. Want badly.

[DCIV]

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to drive one. But an 09 that’s prob 38k...,owch.

I feel like it could be done a lot cheaper if you didn't pay a shop. But I don't have a place where I can split two cars in half, so it's really just daydreaming at this point.

[Chris GTO TT]

I'm not splitting a unibody car in half in my garage and then reassembling it myself ever lol

[Jeff V.]

I'd try it if I could get it cheap

[DCIV]

What is the cost of shipping a car over anyways?


Coop

[Jeff V.]

I think it would just be the cost of a 20 foot container. You fill it with whatever you want. As long as customs doesn't give you a hard time, it should be easy. I don't think they'd care too much about a stripped body with no interior or drivetrain.

Just need to wrap up the Mighty Max and you should be good to go.

From when I used to do international sea shipping a 20' container runs around $2000. That was from Baltimore port to Chile. I am sure going to/from Australia will be more,then you have the cost of getting the container to the shipping port, and the cost of getting from the destination port to a shipping location.

The way to make it cost less is to get someone to partner with you and fill the container with things they need.

[Jeff V.]

Exactly. It wouldn't make sense to put one car body in it and shoulder the cost yourself. You'd need to work with a shop or something to bring over a lot of stuff.

[DCIV]

I raise you.

That looks like a shitstorm.

[Jeff V.]

That's dumb. At least it's just a render.
