    One wonders why they bothered. Both donor vehicles are cheap as chips and of virtually no technical merit. Another example of a hobby costing far, far, more than the value of the end result.

    Have you priced XC utes lately ?

    Technical merit. No but the XC's are a nice looking thing I reckon.

    (I guess it depends on your definition of cheap though).
    But yeah you do wonder why they bothered !
