good way to get it cheap, buy it for the drive line and body, sell off everything that is unnecessary and will make money.........obviously that includes the seats!

or maybe a farmer who didn't wanna get cows*** on any nice seats

Nah, I don't think so. The headrests are a dead give away. The side bolsters aren't as big as the B series XR's (or better), and there's a lever action back adjuster, rather then the knob adjuster.

I think somebody at Pickles has a nice new set of seats in their E series falcon.

maybe and just maybe he preferred the comfort factor of those seats.. True the trimming and fabric is abit hows your father, but without sitting in them how can anyone say they are better or worse.. B series seats are terrible imho, especially if your have your **** planted on them for 74000 kays in an 06 build..

it is an FPV. looks like it has been stolen and dumped for parts. why they didnt take more parts is the question though? interrupted?

anyway, in this pic, behind the gear stick ie, towards the console, you can see where the fpv build number sticker would go. and it has an FPV cluster. so thats pretty obvious. (even though the parts are interchangable, who would go to that much effort?). the rims- stolen/swapped. the bonnet stickers, engine/exhaust mods. 350kW maybe?

heh.

I did not know that.

I have a XR6 BA MkII Ute for a work truck and it has the open cup holder.
