[burgo]

4-5 months!!!!! took me a day to do mine

[belly257]

looks mental that

[Pistol Pete]

Just had another look at the pics. Chequer plate overdose!!

[hendrix]

damn at having no room for another car :(
hey I thought all mk2s were 4 door??

[burgo]

[hendrix]

so come on then hows he sorted the rear doors?

lol too late

[John]

Me likey! Always Wondered what happened to this.

[mowgli]

pity its now in a poor state & won't pass an mot without a few hundred spending on it. I always reckoned a 4dr - pickup would look good, cos the on 2dr, the doors are just huge compared to the body length.. too much ally though

[novarobbo]

theres enough chequer plating inside that to make you go mad! especially drivin it for long journeys! i.e. anything over an hour lol

[hendrix]

ahhh so thats how it was done, doesn't look a bad job really.

[Spudly]

Err why the funk has it got a rear bench for the front seats that just look wierd imo doesnt look too bad otherwise:thumb:

[mowgli]

How come nobody else has mentioned the complete bodge of a fuel filler??????????????

[hendrix]

where is it?? lol

[Pistol Pete]

here, green cap:

http://i18.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/16/7b/a547_1.JPG

[mowgli]

temporary cap, not likely to pass mot, & breather which is in a confined space, so all the petrol vapour will sit under the lid, so anything in the load area could get tainted (ie. your shopping) or worse still, burnt horribly......

[Pistol Pete]

I'm just thinking, what was wrong with leaving the filler in its original place??!! Wherever that maybe on a saloon? Same place as a hatch?

[hendrix]

oh yeah I see now lol, thats stupid!!
no pete they sit further back, cos of extra door lol

[Jack]

Filler sits same place as on the 5dr.

4drs make better pickups than 2drs, its a shame that one is a complete fcuking prize class turnip of a bodge though.

[burgo]

Err why the funk has it got a rear bench for the front seats that just look wierd imo doesnt look too bad otherwise:thumb:because thats how yank pick-ups are

[Rickyb]

because thats how yank pick-ups are

very true but this is far from a yank pick-up lol

[_JH_]

Was just thinking it'd make a great work van until I saw that fuel filler - nasty!

Here's a similar one I saw at the Autograss Nationals 06:

;)

[burgo]

is that a series one turbo copy kit ?

[Pistol Pete]

Tidy up the green one and it probably wouldnt look too bad IMO!

Would love to know where the arches came from.

[draper]

im liking the green one alot, i think i need one lol

[Jim Mcrae]

Just down the road from me, have seen it about. Its nice

[Dod]

is that a series one turbo copy kit ?

I thought that as well but arent the S1 Skirts more recessed than that? Like from the bottom of the arch theres a 2" step back to the skirt?

I like the Black one, but as mentioned, loose the Checker plate and underseal the bed of it and it'd last a lot longer. I also love the Brnch seat, its flapping class.

Porche 911 Rims, brown paint and beige interior ftw!!
