An old army mate has a Ford prototype  [ Built by Ford for the 1974 Sydney Motor show ] of the 1977 Ford LTD Coupe partialy restored [ All there just in bits ] We did drive it back home from Brisbane years ago ..
Based on a 1974 Landau coupe shell with LTD front and rear tail light section blended onto it .. Has 4 bucket seats, full 1977 LTD dash, 4 wheel discs, ran a 400 ci  clevo V8 backed by an FMX auto and 9" diff ..Pics show the style if you can imagine it all blended into a two door ..

Your a funny man Andrew ... Here ya go a Mk3 or 4  Escort  ;D  ;D    Hows that little project of yours going ?  ;D
Ohh dear found another Nutter that built a Mk2 Escort 4X4  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjBP5pm1zqs 
And here I was thinking I was the only one [ Though mine was done roughly 20 years ago ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX62PnR4io8

Thanks for the car porn Edz- I love that 4x4 Escort of yours- be great to see it unleashed it on the tracks. Mine is progressing s l o w l y but getting there. Hoping to shoot colour in the engine bay this holidays and getting it off the rotisserie. When/if I do, I will update the Escort thread.

BTW, you are posting some amazing creations!

Cheers!
Andrew

Wonder how many of these started with a crash, then finding the nearest donor.

The Rover 3500  coupe  would be doable reasonably easy, might have sold better if they'd built them .
With the Monaro van and old holden you just have to wonder  " what were they thinking " .

I'd like to see this one. The pic's been floating around for years and it certainly looks the part in the pic.

FE roof and cut down rear screen?

The bloke who built that, has recently bought it back. (read it somewhere)
I'm  sure the story said he'd built two of them.

Saw this HD / HR x Torana hatch many years ago and have been trying to find pics of it ever since ..
No photochop work back in the day, An idea a heap of sketches and into the metal fabrication and a bucket load of bog . ;D ;D
Even though some of these weird and wild machines haven't quite turned out right in the looks department, You have to give the owners credit  for tackling the job they have done .
Seems very few do this sort of customising these days .. Shame its a tech bolt on and iron gripped over regulated law world when it come to custom cars .
Like the Brougham Monaro  too, looks classy .

Going back to my first car, an Escort panel van that I grafted an XD Falcon front end onto. I also converted the barn doors to a lift up tailgate set up.
Sorry, no photos and it was a little dodgy too. It was early on in my apprenticeship as a panelbeater so I had some skills yet to develop!

Seems the old Escort vans copped a lot of customising in the day  ...Holden fronts and rear ..Torana too .These are all from ARIEL customs that did the HD / Torana hatch ^^^
And is that an Izuzu Bellett with an LJ Torana nose and grill ? . A big improvement over stock . ;D

They wanted a VooDoo  Shrunken head Caddy . ???. Yep Caddies only  look good the big Bold + Size  .. One thing they got right was to give it a good heart though .
Some 4x4 types .
Have to wonder what this bloke was thinking / Drinking when he decided to build this though .2.0Ltr ford engine,  F-20 Scat Diffs / steering, Nissan 720 transfer case, Nissan Vannette brake master cyl / booster, Testar steering colum and a Toyota Celica 5 speed G box. ;D ;D
Always liked the Holden Overlanders, Would love to do an SLR Torana as one though .
