All you need to do then is to open a photobucket account or something similar.

Interesting project.

How did you get 5-bolt wheels to fit?

The 5 studs are original, the Scorpio Metal has been added ;D

When I first saw the pic I did not pick up on the rear end at first and I thought how did he get 5 studs on, always liked that particular pattern of wheel, then I looked closer and thought, strewth its a hatch! :)

And of course, the view that other drivers get of it....

As you can see from the photos, it did look rather odd, at times, during the conversion, and I even drove it around in between, did get some odd looks from other drivers!!

Nice one,

Definately a head turner for them as think that they know an ULTIMA when they see it, a hatchback and a Cossie one at that 8) ;)

I want one to go with my saloons :)

A BIG THANK YOU to geoff for all your kind words of encouragement, and for bringing my creation in to the limelight!!
:D

I had planned on taking it to Billing 2006, but, unfortunately, circumstances dictated otherwise, however, it will definitely be at the shows next year, I just need to get the leaky gearbox sorted, oh, and the overheating problem!!
::)

Don't you fancy doing one like the pickup that's on the other side Al. Pretty sure Richard won't mind me popping a pic on here,

Quick update on the "ultima hatchback" she failed her m.o.t a couple of weeks ago.... only a holey passengers side inner sill and a t.c.a bush!!I was gonna s.o.r.n her over the winter anyways, so have had a new inner and outer sill fitted, and t.c.a bush, so she will be able to pass second time round, then, hopefully, I will get some time over the winter, to finish her off, ready for meets next year!
