Thank's all . This is a shot of the new floor i had to make to cover the huge Nissan 5 speed as well as give me some more leg room as the F250 foot well is small for LHD .

awesome ute!!

Yeah , i may do that . Does anyone remember the donor ute ? It was a Black XR6T with 11200 k's on the clock hit on the LH rear , it was from Toowoomba , ive owned it for about three years . If it was your car be rest assured the donors organs were put to good use .

That is epic!!! well done.

awesome build up... highly original project you have... Vote 1 for a "Street fords" 5 page spread about this vehicle...

I don't look in detail through many of these buildups....but this one is unbelievable! Great work. Making the car you want out of the best bits....brilliant. Looks like a high level or workmanship too. Congrats on a great vehicle!

What do you do for a living, engineer? This would have to be one of the most original ideas ive ever seen. Awsome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome work iron horse
Amazing - How did you get it regoed etc?

Thats awsome stuff. bet it gives most other 4wds, and some cars the flick with ease. very nice

Thank's to all for your kind comments . I had a picture of this thing in my head for a while but the thought of starting on it was a bit daunting as i was in the middle of building my heavy tilt tray truck from scratch and i was also building my pole frame house on my own . So to get it out of my head i bought a new VU SS ute , it was the biggest piece of garbage i have ever owned . And after 3 days of owning it i was under the bonnet trying to find the missfire . I sold it and bought the F250 cab , i had located a 10,000 klm V10 Twin Turbo Diesel Volkswagen Toureg engine which was going to be the power plant but it got sold . I then bought a 6.0ltr Turbo V8 Powerstroke motor which is pictured to go in it but it turned out to be a nightmare as nothing was going to work . I then went to Newcastle to buy a new Backhoe and went for a spin around the block with the salesman in his XR6 Turbo ute . He was in the left lane at the lights with not much road in front before it merged into two lanes again . He give this thing a squirt and it launched so hard it felt like a big fat momma was laying on me pushing me into the seat . I pulled my head out of the headrest and said to him , 400KW'S ? he said close , 380 . It had bugger all done to it and it sounded stock . That's when i went on the hunt for a Barra , Wayne at Allford helped out with the supply of a front cut and the rest is history . As for my background , i suppose i'm the Jack of all trades , master of none kind of guy .
