MOTOR Magazine Feb 2007.
What do you get when you take a VE Senator, fit a blower, fit GTS bits and then drop LSD tabs in the painter and interior fitters coffee? Mary Shelley, eat your heart out...... |

Read the magazine. Someone paid $137k to Walkinshaw to make this thing. It is not a GTS it is a Senator with lots of bits grafted on.

I reckon its looks pretty cool! Just ditch the green on the shifter, wheel and speaker grilles.
Also needs a manual box too ;) |

$137K...that money could have been a lot better spent on that car is all I can say, than a blower making 370 odd killowatts (a $1500 edit and the usual exhaust/intake mods would surley get sclose to that), and some ghey paint. meh.

They should have fitted a VL Walkinshaw bonnet scoop :P
(In all seriousness, I saw a VE with VL Walkinshaw scoop a few weeks back. It was horrid)

I think they are great pics.
Looking at that you can see why FPV look better and appreciate them that little bit more, that front tractor guard does not sit with me and you would need to be a tough man to sit inside that green interior without feeling sick by the end of the day. |

Yeah, when the spray painter asked him "what colour?" the owner just handed him a Shrek doll and said go for it.

I think I liked that Green Ute with the brown interior out of Street Fords better. Well clearly, I am a sucker for brown interiors. Mmmmm.
