I realy dont know what the rear window is from ,It was just a roof section at Ballarat swap and now after chopping it its hard to know .
I searched the plymouth Jase but to no avail ,and a mainline is way different ,but I do know its off a coupe ute .

The floor pan is the toyota and chassis and its tacked in position now and ready to go .

The window idea was originally to have glass instead of lexan crap and when I looked at the profile of the roof its almost identical to a 34 &*#@ ,my ol man had a rear window section from one but I couldnt get it out of him so I went lookin :)

I like it but getting mixed opinions otherwise, Id love to make it a roll down :)

Also I decided to use the airbag setup thats here so they dont change the laws on that before I use it to ,maybe they already have - Im not up to date with the changes that took place.

they haven't changed YET but the people i talk to (engineers and blue slip guys) say get any modified cars regoed QUICK :shock: if NSW RTA get there way it'll be near impossable or VERY expensive to rego them :( :x :x

thought we were on to a good thing with andrew stonner getting in power but him standing down from RTA portfolio only seems a bad thing to me, like he got what he wanted and now don't give a f#%k about the "car guy" that may have helped him to his position :? but then he is a politician :roll:

yeah I was disappointed Stoner was assigned a new portfolio too :(

It's actually not his decision, it's O'Farrell who decides how to arrange the ministry.

Let's HOPE the new Govt repeals some of the proposed changes...
