it won't be legal like that, you'll have to make/buy a cage for it methinks. would be safer if you did anyway.
but its awesome! keep up the good work. when is it getting slammed?
slammed and it will look awsome
I think it would be possible to mod a standar kombi lid and put it on... i reckon it would look better than having the ass hanging out. 👍
I'm sure somebody on here had Range Rover motor in a bay and manage to fit it under the lid. 😀

na i didnt paint it jeremy, i got it professionally done, i have 2 mates in the business and they panneled the whole thing and sprayed it, all up including the 2pac and other materials it cost me $4k, yer i love the colour too, "devil Yellow" also known as monaro yellow,
as for my gearbox 11CAB, haha na i don't do that often, i drive her relatively nice, and have never tried to sit brake the car without the road bein wet or havin dishwashin liquid on it haha,
as for the boot lid, i am just over halfway moulding a new fibreglass lit with bowl shaped bits in it to fit the alternator, waterpump pully and belt, sanding it back to a nice smooth even shape probably as you read this...
cheers for the comments guys, apriciate it :thumb
