I don't think its been ruined, Merrick isn't clueless when it comes to Coupes. Does anyone know how this car started before hand? Was it knackered?
Merrick used to own the coupe from Two Hands so I'm sure he wouldn't have ruined a good example of a coupe.

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...24#post4529424 i like it - it still seems fully functional as a landau. some may not like the scoops, but if i have no doubts that if max rockatansky drove that instead of the interceptor, then there would still be countless tribute cars the mods look tough - and it is true to the coupe shape |

I don't see this as any different to a MAd max replica or a Fairmont Ruined into a GT replica...

Really?
Merrick Watts' profession is entertainment and to be successful in that profession he needs to constantly appear in news and be the subject of conversations, discussions and even forum threads. He does not need money to buy brains, he uses his brains to make money, LOTS of money, by basically just having fun and playing up. There are very few dumb people who have long successful careers in entertainment......... But on the subject of the car, the word FORD is mentioned quite a lot on his NATIONAL radio show which means FORD are getting huge amounts of free exposure and advertising. I reckon it is a brilliant. |

Good on him. The guy seems to be a big Ford bloke. Nice job with the bbq in the back and the car looks great on the outside.
