Glad you did.
That looks great.
Well done and nice job.

awesome work man. looks soo smooth. have you seen the mustang limo's being built in Lilydale industrial park? you should take that down for a compare, they are almost as stylish as yours.

Top work...

empi · 29 Mar 2005, 9:52 am

Wow looks cool , so is this gonna be a new business fo Pete?

helbus · 29 Mar 2005, 9:57 am

1400mm stretch. Has two 10" dvd flip down screens in the back, full leather interior, power steering, air cond, Sattelite Navigation. Yes it will be available for hire in the Melbourne area. Just have to get a website up.

Thinking about it now, it was hard to build the thing, but it was harder to keep it a secret. Blew them away at the EH nationals in Bendigo.

It looks awesome hellbus. I don't think you'll have any problems hiring it out. Very stylish.

helbus · 29 Mar 2005, 10:21 am

This is the inside

dodge · 29 Mar 2005, 10:30 am

that is a gorgeous car....
what kind of legal issues did u have getting it registered n stuff?

helbus · 29 Mar 2005, 10:40 am

The body shell had to bave a bend and torsional test done by an engineer which would have destroyed the shell if it did not pass, so lucky I had a fair idea on what I was doing.

Then when the vehicle was finished it went for a final inspection of the seats and seatbelts and got the engineers ok. Then went to Vicroads and registered it as an engineered sedan. No probs.

baybuscamperkid · 29 Mar 2005, 12:20 pm

i have a holden mad friend who would go nuts for a ride in that. awesome job

Bizarre · 29 Mar 2005, 12:23 pm

What is pulling up front - hope fully more than a 161??

looks great!

SKEWtYpe3 · 29 Mar 2005, 12:57 pm

yeah he has a sweet engine in in but when i saw it it was 1400 mm shorter, maybe the engine is bigger again now?

awesome work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

helbus · 29 Mar 2005, 5:20 pm

This is not my supercharged 202 sedan, that is still ripping tyres in it's own right

The limo is powered by a 186 with fuel injection off a VK Commo 202. Cruises very nicely.

dodge · 29 Mar 2005, 5:21 pm

so....................... thinkin of selling it? 😉

helbus · 29 Mar 2005, 5:30 pm

Sell ? He He. I think after the amount of time the three of us spent building it, we will want to keep it forever.

dodge · 29 Mar 2005, 5:34 pm

damn 🙁

akean1 · 29 Mar 2005, 5:37 pm

akean1 · 29 Mar 2005, 5:41 pm

57kombi · 29 Mar 2005, 6:16 pm

Now that is NICE.
I'm still thinking of getting an EK wagon and that makes me want to get off my arse and get one.

Cheers
