5LT BA One Tonner?

[Frost]

I came across this on the weekend.....

5lt BA One Tonner, my mate picked it up for an auction, Seems to think it is a Protype.... Build date is Late 02.

Is it an AU tonner with a BA front?

[holmsy]

yeh i reckon it would be.
kinda weird seeing old school lookin motor in it.

[Commando]

Dash pics or it's an AU.

EDIT it is an AU, wipers aren't hidden.

[Frost]

Possible I didnt get time to inspect the comp plates, I just herd him pull up and go, man thats not an XR8 sounded to mean. Motor is Herrod enhanced. Trying to get him to bring it to AFD.

But AU to BA conversion is a big job yea?

[stevo]

rad support is shiny in engine bay, rest of bay is not (as per usuall AU)
So its just an AU with BA front *shrug*

[Frost]

well if it is an AU. Least it looks good.

[Kaddis]

All the AU > BA conversion is guards, bonnet and bar. Nearly everything else is the same.

[Frost]

I just rang him told him to stop pulling my leg, he said they had to re drill holes for the bonnet hinges, and a few here and there for the guards and lights.

Cool so i can put BA or BF Front on my AU wagon? It does need new front end at meet buget.

I'm surprised with your massive IQ you couldnt figure this one out yourself.
And btw, its spelled prototype.

[EFFalcon]

looking at those who have done the swap in the past its not that straight forward.
the inner guards have to be swapped along with the rad support.

[Benny]

arent those are au wheels??

[Kilma]

No. They are AU XR rims, and the front bar is BF, not BA.

[bentls]

100% au. look where abs pump is, and overflow bottle, scuttle is au, wipers are au, side moulds arent au they are ba/bf tho, its a bf front bar not ba, and im pretty sure among what else has been said, rad support is a ba one not au.

heaps easier to sell a BA than an AU.

Say the thing had front end damage - would you put an asshat AU front back on or for the same cost slap a BA face on it?

i'm not saying that it was damaged or that's what the seller would do....
