Beers are on me!

[Haystack]

Hello one and all, as I'm new here I'd like to introduce myself by way of bribary! I'll get the beers in if you're all nice to me

I've been reading PPC for a few years now after I picked up a copy at a mates house and boy has it opened my eyes to not only a world of oppertunity but some cracking wit too!

Anyway I've deceided to join the ranks as I've got an interesting project I'm going to need some help & inspiration with.

I do a lot of mountain biking and motorbike trackdays so its only sensible that I get myself a pick up truck. It'd certainly be more practical than my tired old Alfa 155!

The problem is that most pick ups are rubbish(excluding that Holden monaro thingy!)
So what I intend on doing is turning a car (with a reasonable wheelbase) into a pick up. Something like a Volvo 850 T5 maybe? (I've always been a fan of touring cars)
I'll start a tread for this in the relevent place soon.

Cheers,
Jonny

WELCOME ABOARD!!!

So you want to build summat like this?



BMW M5 Pick Up!!!

I've always fancied building a 750iL Pick up...
You can get a 750iL off the bay for about £500.

Or this 1 for under £900 (just out of test)

... thats a wave (I will be waving from the carpark, next, when I tell you about the Proton Jumbuck).

Guy on the Proton Site has put the full monty Evo 4x4 in one... and singlhandedly converted it into a really fast>>[enter word]!

T5 chopped.... I'll give it one for that!

Cheers, M8

you know I thought about this a while ago, but dismissed it for some reason, but I'm warming to the idea now.

I think it would be more fun to make it go faster than mess with bobywork but thats a personal choice
