"fell off" = "threw himself off"

if it didnt look so boxy it would be a cool idea.  trouble is, theres years of hard work between that and how it should look.

Good donor perhaps ? the buck you could recycle as firewood and possibly even use the flat screen ? But I do feel that slagging off someones efforts
isn't perhaps the right thing to do? I've noticed a lot of it going on recently and wonder how many people look at our cars and think the
same as a lot of people on here . I know everyone is entitled to an opinion but lets give a bit of credit for perhaps turning a basket case into a
useable vehicle even if you don't like the look of it. And no I don't like it or some of the other cars that have been shown on the forum
the last few days

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I like it
I'm going to side with John_p_b on this one.
Whats wrong with someone building that sort of thing, i'll give you its not very aerodynamic but he must have got through an SVA and its one of
a kind.
Its easy to laugh but how mny of us ( including me ) would have a nice looking 7 type if there wasnt a kit that included the Fibreglass pannels.
I also note he used the Pinto engine , I could laugh at that as being a bit prehistoric.
Good on him, thats what building your own vehicle is alla bout.

i love the back end of it !
you could turn it into a nice car/van
wouldnt need too much work.
it does have a transit engine so its not too far away
also whats nice to me may not be nice to you,

I thought a lot of the SVA test was about minimum radii in relation to hitting a pedestrian? Mabye it was built before the test came in but it looks
kinda shiny & just done.
If it were mine I'd have to have TONKA written across the tailgate!

Arguable, this...as the bed seems pretty well made but the cab thrown together.
Find an old pickup cab and transplant...

Somebody has to love it - Personally, think it looks like the aftermath of a drunk reversing a mini moke into a sauna!
If you pay peanuts...
Mentale, yar? Yar, mentale!
Drive it like you stole it!
