there is a blueprint b series ute with the old school tub floating around somewhere too, they look quite good, but i think the round shape of the AU suits much better...

I saw a mazda bravo come past my work the other day with that sort of tray, Even after seeing it in the flesh I really have no idea wether I like it or not.

YUK!!
The tub looks like its off an old Holden ute, it simply doesnt flow at all and looks way to out of place. Even though it's something different, it still looks like garbage! |

I was just pointing out that just because something's different, doesn't make it garbage. That ute is "different", but so is yours (only based on colour though, otherwise yours is like every other F6 ute thing going around). I reckon that tray, on your ute, in your kermit green, would look fantastic.

no way JC, the tray looks horrible.... it really doesnt compliment the car at all. On an older car ( old chevy pickup ) yeah, late model cars and those trays just look poxy. I dont know... each to their own i guess.

I don't like it, at all. A similar idea would be to mate the front of an old Willies Jeep to the rear of a Delorean...

I like it, but it needs a few slight changes to make it right, gaurds look right where and as they are, but the tray is a bit to narrow, looks a bit off where it meets the body

as said earlier it suits the rounder lines of an AU better than it would a B series. remember the reason we mod cars is to have something different it may not appeal to everyone but it would attract a second glance. i'm not into utes myself like the sedans but you must admit it is different

Might be ugly, but it would be handy for someone who needs a bit of ute space as well as having to lug a family around as well.

thats not one of a kind, if you look on the video that casper or JC (cant remember who sorry ) made of the AU Falcon... theres a white one which looks alot better
i think the concept was off the old like one of the first Ford utes ever - correct me if im wrong i like it - but it looks like something is missing on that ute
