pretty sure the vectra was done from an Estate, but saying that its the same length as the saloon i think?!?!

Cheap Vectra estates are plentiful:

These usually look pants because they're too short and but those vectras look amazing imo! The GSi bumpers suit them perfectly and they're a nice length of car to pull it off.

Anymore pics?

think you would need to do it to a combo van to get it looking right

The Nova looks good/has potential - like the bench seat it's got in it.

the one thing that annoyed me about this is all the effort, skill, time, money and imagination that went into making that pickup, and they used the old shitty number plates


You'd be surprised that the budget on this was quite low. It started as a 3 door SRi I think.
Dan wanted it all smooth at the back hence the reason the rear lights were removed.

That was made out of wood for cheapness. Think he was going to do it out of fibreglass or some better material but ended up selling it.

What are the laws on making a pick-up out of a car?? Pretty sure i read somewhere that you need to get it tested and paperwork from VOSA, which is around Ł400.
