Well, seeing as I love HQ's and Mustangs, this really hits the spot for me. Its something I could very easily live with in the back shed.

Mixing them just made something hideous. Here's another for keeping the vehicles separate as they should have been, before that monstrosity was created.
Not outraged, but more "why?" than anything else... |

The whole idea is kinda lost with the american front and the aussie rear... its not really a true representation of our Australian Ford vs Holden battle.
But I do appreciate the amount of work that has gone into it. It certainly wasn't some quick cut and paste job. |

I don't like it. It's not because it's a Folden. It's simply because the lines don't flow with a curvey front end and boxy rear.

Just got to wonder why pick a 4 door body to graft the front onto???
![]() You would think that if they really had to do it, that a 2 door Monaro shell would have looked a whole lot better????????????????? :alien2: ![]() ![]()

I thought this thread was a clever headline about Holden folding !
The kiwis have a great sense of humour. Are they becoming cooler than us ?! Damn Kiwis and their sex speed gearboxes

My first thought was "Sacrilege, how can they do that!!!"
The workmanship looks great however, a heap of effort must have gone into it. Probably one of the better transplants I've seen. I think the ridge running along the top of the front guard leading to the headlight is a bit much. If that profile was lowered so the top of the guard tapered down to the light would have suited better.

just reafirms my opinions from 20 years ago. you can chuck ford stuff on a holden till the cows come home. end of the day...`folden`goes hard because it`s "powered by ford". probably got a 9" as well. looks pretty stupid IMO ?

Looks awesome, the lines, the curves, the great detail; even the little collars on it. The shoes are a bit wrong and the earings are a little over the top but overall very nice.
As for the car, what an ugly looking piece of crap. Then again, in NZ they think sheep are attractive so each to their own I guess.

As a radio stunt, in my book, it doesn't look too bad. Good provocative build to gain the attention it was built for.
A two door HQ shell was obviously too hard or too costly to source in NZ, though the concept would have flowed a lot more smoothly if it was a two door. The bids it is attracting, though are mind boggling. |

What were they thinking these do not mix hope the coupe in the back of the picture doesn't succumb to the same fate.

I think it looks OK, although, people have been grafting cars together for years.
I think Red does a pretty good job of making two cars into one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Lnfpulwjc I’m thinking of ordering a custom build by him, I just can’t decide on which colours to go with. ![]()

Clearly they have far too much time in NZ! There has been a lot of effort go into this, but there is something very wrong about this project!!

I thought a "folden" was a 250 xflow head mounted backward to a 202 block, that is just wrong like angelina jolie's face on casey donovan.

an xa-xc coupe is totally different to an xa-xc sedan. take a look at one from the side and you will see what i mean. roof line, quarters rear panels that are totally unique to the coupe and cannot be mistaken a charger is the same in this respect take a look at an lc-lj torana, any monaro, the xm-xp coupe, the chrysler coupes and you may notice that there isn't much difference from the side. a non car enthusiast may not even pick the difference from 50 metres - with an xa-xc coupe or a charger the difference is obvious - no matter how far away you are |
