Seriously thinkin PICKUP...

[red_devil]

Can ne1 tell me the user names of ne1 who has made a nova pickup...

I looked at my car the other day and thought "how wicked would that look as a pickup..."

I don't need it 2 be practical for seats... i don't need it to be low maintenence i just need it to be done right and make my life carrying ice hockey kits easier... plus who has seen a wide arched nova pickup on 18"s... not me and with the tailights it would look amazing (i think neway)

Just need 2 see some pics thats all... cheers guys....

i want 2 make my mind up so i can start asap

sounds sh*t to me, no offence

I thought you were doing something with a split rear screen and some other sketchy stuff.

[Mark]

Damn Ste, I would have liked to see the finished car.....Did it look any good?

[dave.gsi]

looked quite good actually......................................if a bit 'unsafe' lol

[Mark]

Unsafe?? :o

[dave.gsi]

well, when you chop the roof off a nova it wont be the safest of cars around will it?

[Mark]

Stick a front cage in and it will be fine...lol

There is a Blue one in Bristol, can be seen at most cruises etc, has been to weston wheels for the last couple of years.

Was done quite well had a cgae to reinforce what has been chopped away.

The Blokes who work on my car have made a pick up using a saloon, they have put a large roll cage in the back to add stability, the XE engine - its a bit of a beast and also a bit tail happy!!!
How do you add photos to this is it URL or flash or one of the buttons above? - I'm not very computer literate!

cheers gunzi

it's all welded up solid.. i drove it with no rear on and there wasn't much flex... as long as you leave the window surrounds in its fine

Cool

[red_devil]

why is it better to leave the window surrounds in???

i'm gettin bad thoughts about the strength as my rear arches are mainly fibreglass..... hhhmmmmm don't look like 2 good an idea... had a look inside my car and it would take some serious framework 2 be safe

Nova pickup's looks very very cool.. I love them.. :twisted: :twisted:

[Ste_Nova]

cause they are a stuctural part... it doesn't need any frame work
