« on: August 18, 2006, 20:56:40 »
Whilst mooching on the internet I found an American company that takes tired volvo 240s and 740s and makes them in to pick ups, toyed with the idea my self but cant find the site or any Volvo home made pick ups, any ideas?

Does anyone remeber "carsharks" on bravo ?
The did one down near newquay .
It was a double cab so dont know how the rear seats worked but looked nice.
I would look for an old hearse and chop that as you would have a massive load area and they are designed with a "load" in mind  :idea:

If you go on ebay.com you can find all sorts of weird stuff theres a firm in america that will convert your new toyota landcruiser amazon to a crew cab pickup!!!! :?

MM, drop a T5 engine in...

Pickup that moves like sting, beutiful ride, air con, all luxuries and has the stopping power of a sherman tank :)

Having had a 245 apart two thinsg strike me

a) That would be dead easy to do.
b) Would also probobly drop onto an RR chassis :)
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
