I think it looks pretty cool, sort of like a subaru brat, there are still plenty of stockers around for the pourists out there. that looks like a great PNP car.

A gentleman in Southern GA has this fine example of a 220 sedan morphed with a VW Rabbit mini truck. It was a hoot to see in person and fun to drive. Cab was kind of tight for me but it seemed to be reasonably put together. He said he bought it off Ebay a few years back.
I'd love to do a similar conversion to one of my sedans or wagons....although I have trailer hitches on all my cars and just cannot seem to get motivated to do a project of this magnitude.

Oh god not another bug eye hack. There was one on Atlanta CL for a while, it was painful to look at.

I can appreciate the labor that went into making that work, that said I'm not on the phone with my importer.
Looks like an old Holden Ute, like the red one in the first mad max.

It looks like someone that knew what they are doing did it. Its kinda cool.....I'd own it.
Plus, with a M110 under the hood and those wheels/tires + manual trans....you could have some real fun with that thing!

That's disgusting.
On a side note: It looks very confused about its existence..
