Ummm bit divided aswell.... It looks great and a lot of effort has gone into it.
But common i used rate danny as an awesome boxer.
But that fight with mundine.. He got freakin smashed!
i HATE mundine, watch the fight again danny has the wrong stance the whole fight arms up, tense... Was not good.
Now i just think of him as a dancer and tv celebrity

The coupe looks awesome just don't like the tail lights and the seats don't look like they suit the car. But as for mundine I don't really like him, but I knew all along he was to good for the green machine. People says he has a glass jaw, the only problem is you have to land one on it. Easier said then done he is very quick and illusive.

a workshop in perth built it in a very small amount of days
2 weeks comes to mind, but it might have been 1-3 months

it was a gift from his sponsor

it was a feature in ppg's refinisher mag last year

Sweet car. I believe he also has (had?) a heavily modified BF GT as his daily driver.

100% sure. Probably the cheapest option (and they are not a bad seat either). I'm guessing a comparable Ford seat would have to be sourced from the USA (Mustang etc).

It's on the cover and a full writeup on it in Vol 15 No2 Perth Street Car mag.

Then check out page 64

I have the same seats in my car , very comfy and supportive, all electric with easy adjustment and memory settings, perfect seat for the coupe as they were designed for the monaro coupe, for those unfamiliar with this seat, you will see a lever near the top of the seat, when you lift this lever the electric seat slides forward and tilts the back of the seat forward to allow rear passengers in, then there is a little button next to the lever ,when you press this the seat slides back into position for the driver (not always the fastest on rainy days).all other adjustments you will see on the base of the seat in the photo, once again, perfect seat for the coupe(except for the fact it came from a holden).

Tried to send a PM but your inbox is full

I note your comment re the memory function in your seats.

I also have cough cough Holden Calais electric seats in my 4Runner and looked into memory seats but was told you need complete body control modules etc etc.

Is this true or are yours simply wired to a small ecu etc as I would prefer memory units.

Who give a rats to be honest! I'm sure he 'aint broke and I'd say most people with his money and the kind of sponsors he has as well as the hectic shedule he has even after retiring wouldn't bother getting their hands dirty if they can have someone else make their car look that good with out the dramas.

Agreed.
He obviously had an eye and ideas for what he wanted, and he got it.
And to find someone who does the work as good as that (nearly impossible), he has done really really well.
