It would be a shame to take an angle grinder to such a well finished car. If you really want a pick up why not get yourself another cheap saloon to do it on.

becasue theres no point in doing it to a rotter, lol

Afraid the saloon pickup has been done. Ive use to have one, but sold it to a mate now.

I didnt say turn a rotten saloon into a pick up, you can pick up rust free saloons for a couple of hundred since they are undesireable to most people.
Just seems a shame to hack up a lovely finished nova to me
First you paint it the wrong colour, then you want to chop it up?! Are you trying to give me heart failure?! lol
if you do it make it different!

How about extending the roof back to make it into a 'fastback' nova, now that would be original. Unless you want to make a pickup to actually put stuff in the back of it.

Ive seen one, once, get the escort estate 3 door back and job done, i think that would be a lot better tbh

DO IT :p
lads lads lads... the shell was only ?200. I sprayed it myself hence it looks so clean. I work in a bodyshop for those of you that don't know. I've already spoken to my boss and i can spray it whenever i like. He laffed when i said i was turning it into a pick-up.
Anyway's... I've decided I'm going to go for it.
I need another run about tho, as this isnt exaclty a weekend jobbie, not to make it look any good anyways :thumb: saying that, the saloon looks alright and that was a weekender. Pmsl
I think you should put the money into making it rwd really, now that would be the shizzle!lol

Rexy dunno if you saw my earlier post.
Buy the next ****ed sola on ebay and chop the roof off... turn it round so the electric roof works backwards then weld it on the back of the pick up so you have an electric load cover. The last ****ed sola went for ?62 on ebay.

Na, think you should try gte front bumper though:thumb:
Nah Dont do it. Fit a Mantzel chin spoiler to the mk1 valance.
Btw Dont make a pick up, unless you are a landscape gardener or summat. I thought pick ups need mowers & rakes hanging out the back.

Aye. Old VW Polos (estate type hatch things) can look really neat when done nicely. Little baby T5 replica Ive seen before.
Quite a challenge though.

Pics??
on a similar theme, there was a mk1 golf pick-up round my way yesterday, must of been running 13s (wheel size, not 1/4time lol) and was nearly scraping the floor, looked quality !!
has to be pickup, went in my mates mk1 golf pickup last night, only a diesel but its got to be the best thing ive been in for ages, so light, so useful and looks the dogs, my DH mountain mike fit right in the bay without even taking the wheels off, madness
lol... it has to be done... it really has to.
once im paid up with some debts im saving up for a 306 D turbo, then i can do whatever i want with the saloon :D
i dont think you should chop that one up rexy, its a good shell, only the other day i was thinking about taking my mates 5-door saloon from him and getting my bro to attack it with a angle grinder, lol
either that one, or his 3-door cabriolet saloon
lol, dont think ill bother now!
how bout a limosene style nova?
nah, i wana pick up mate lol
then i can do whatever i want with the saloon :D
Sell it to me :thumb:
I remember that pic of a Nova "Estate" car, looked exactly like a ford escort tbh.
