M5 Ute

[Raggyman]

Came across this today... www.m5ute.com looks pretty cool for a BMW..

That looks great.

However a HSV UTE would have saved him a lot of time.

Could have gone all the way and finished it off with a set of half tracks.

Wait til Tiger makes a Corvette Ute!

We already got them, they're called Maloo's. Just need to bring them up to date with an LS3 or LS7 donk.

My new acquistion is not far off that with a live rear axle and cart springs + 1300 kg load. Mr Fish is having it next week for a service/mot etc. Its been laid up since 2003. Bought it from the recievers dealing with UltraMotive who did a lot of work for Holden.............PS Must not modify, must not, must, oh bugger!!!

What a pussy!!

He might have gone for a V10 M5 to do a proper job..

Not bad but i'd rather have a Maloo

The buckles on the wellies wore out so they had to go!!!!!..............

The quality of work and the finish is unbelievable, I would have used the original seats even if the cabin needed to be bigger. The rear of the cabin needs more thickness, like a Maloo. Over all I think it is a great bit of kit.

That’s some seriously good sheet metalworking gone into that project.

Apparently if you put the sheep on the edge of the cliff they push back better No need for wellies.

You're right. Even the Germans would be happy with that quality, and so would I. Hope I can get my tubbing something like when I do mine.

Lesson for HSV. That's how you do it (Properly)!
