Oh where do I even start........?

I'll pass. That's no Holden Ute. But they do get partial credit for the additional "shelf" within the "C" pillar.

 

In line with its current engine, would make me think that it still has its original transmission

That chop-job is from a UK TV show called Ultimate Wheels. It's episode 1 2014 season. Couldn't find it online - probably for the better. If I remember correctly they bought a halted project car with a V8 engine swap and took it from there...

 

Little history lesson for all here re 'The Ute' story.
The very first utility vehicle,was a 1934 Ford sedan chopped (by Ford Aussie) so that Mum was comfortable going into town with the old man to take a sheep/pig or two and return with supplies and hardware in the back.:

This 412 version is as useful as boobs on a bull!

 

A pitty its a RHD car....could use this in the inland of Bresil....

 

What a dogs breakfast under the hood, the plug wires were installed by Stevie Wonder and the missing choke stat is a nice touch

 

Which makes it a perfectly fine project IMHO as it was already somewhat ruined.

I remember the episode, was kind of a fun episode.
