At last! A reason for people movers to exist! You can own a convertible and have kids!

Couldn,t help drawing a parallel between that and your sig pic.
Only in conceptual terms tho

Looks like they've tried to turn it into a pickup truck. :laugh:

i was trying to convince the missus into getting a tow bar and trailer, but now i think it will be cheaper to bring the gas axe home from work

This is true... Can't remember how to change the signature, was a few years ago that I sorted that out...

Great idea! (Just don't tell her you got the idea from me!)

Hmmmmm, have got an old toyota estima out the road doing nothing too. I have done that to a mirage and a laser, never done a people mover though.:Punk:

Nothing that 20" rims and shortened springs wouldn't fix.:whistle:

I'm noticing the size of the rear door gap at the bottom and wondering if the roof structure plays any part in a monocoque design?

Personally I feel the colour is its biggest letdown

Great idea, poor execution. An integrated rollbar to the back of the roof would sort the rigidity, and maybe some panel shop lessons. But imagine how much tray room it will have...

Had one of these myself. This was our Mk1 hunting (spotlighting) hack.

Thats a pretty cool hunting hack! I saw this while out riding one day. It's amazing what people can come up with to do to vehicles!

Thats a Scannel tray mounted big bale feeder.
Scannel was a designer for Duncan farm machinery before they had a parting of ways.
I worked for him for 8 mths or so in his freezing cold shed out by Levels raceway.
He was a clever guy but a bit 'she'll be right' in the design department.

Be interesting to see how they've done the hydraulic powerpack.

Great traction but I wouldn't want to drive it up a hill when loaded...

If you're gonna chop up a Toyota Estima, you may as well do it properly...

Top gear project? Looks like a Clarkson build.

I think my chopping skills would be on par with whoever did the toyota in this thread.:Punk:
