Why buy an AU, if you want a BA?

You know most AU owners prefer their AU over the BA.

Why not someone try something different and put a BA rear on an AU front for a change.

Easy for the ute guys ... hee hee

BU Falcon!

Easy as if you have to replace your front due to a prang and no more costly.

Why not a DU Fairlane front.

Its all panels and parts cost everything fits up but dont forget there are lots of parts required not just the obvious bar and guard. It adds up

well it could be an AA Falcon ... or AF (depends on budget)
or just BUas jonbays said.

Sounds like cross breeding.

you'd be better off buying a 2nd hand pursuit : but the XR50 bar etc will be much cheaper.
