Genius. Just needed a better job of the front of the rear wheels.
Rear SLS would be perfect for the weight... Argentina had factory W115 utes (sorry pickups).

I never heard of these, but that sounds super cool. Do you have any pics of those utes?

These look nice, I always wonder how the integrity of the chassis is in an accident.
How much of the strength is compromised? I still think it would be cool to have one though. Charlie

Good question. Frontal aspect....unchanged. REar may be weaker but the impact is further from the nearest human. Probably ok. Might have a bit of chassis shake though.

The 2 door looks better than I might have thought - someone tried to make it come out right. The black 4 door looks like a funeral flower car to me. To each his own.......
