Why do people like turning shit into a fucking pickup?
>>14945259
Because the small sport truck market has been dead for 8 years.
Because muh country music
Because it's cool as hell, you dimple.
Because they want a car-based pickup but can't buy one where they live.
Unless they improve chassis rigidity though it's going to be floppier. It's like making a half convertible. The Holden Ute weighs more than the sedan due to extra bracing.
>>14945270
Hm this got me thinking. 2 door """"sports"""" truck is considered truck in insurance right?
Because it's just another mass produced car

Saw like 5 of these together in Sweden once, both 200's and 700's

>2 door """"sports"""" truck is considered truck in insurance right?
Yes.
In some particular cases also tax savings.
>>14945290
So I was actually wrong for a change, there actually is a Benz I would show myself driving in public.
That one looks good, really good. Is that like a chopped hearse or what?
>>14945307
That is fucking pimping
>>14945310
Nifty
Sometimes there's actual utility to gain (built in small serial production in Austria with Suzuki's official seal of approval).
>>14945342
Kawaii
And sometimes it's simply for style and uniqueness.
>>14945353
I'm glad we can agree on that
>tfw no utes in North America
I just wanted a Maloo for that glorious supercharger whine
I once saw a custom Scion xB pickup in Sulphur Springs TX and I regret not taking a picture of it every single day
>>14945401
They actually have a nice quiet supercharger.
I hate supercharger whine

OH BOY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THREAD
>>14945290
This is too good.
Usually I like my ute conversions as small as possible.
>>14945310
Seems kinda dumb to hack this one up when VW sold single cab/crew cab Vanagons from the factory.
These...these actually look pretty decent. I mean there are a few that look like absolute shit, but I could definitely see myself driving a few of these.
>>14949839
>conversions
But Anon, the Mini was sold like that.
>>14949919
But not with a hatch!
>>14949983
Oh neat.
>>14949802
>eg pick up
I really like this.
>>14947794
whats the one in the middle?
>>14949210
Holy shit that's amazing.
Then again the suspension would surely need work dome to it to survive actual loads in it?
>>14950737
Ford Sierra.
>>14950789
probably but if you look at the wheel wells, in the bed, it's most likely already been converted to a leaf spring rear end
If I ever have more than a thousand dollars in my possession at any time that I don't immediately owe to someone else, I'm going to turn my FB into an ute.
>>14945259
Because utes are dead outside Australia, and it's frequently cheaper to convert an existing car than to import an Australian car, which may not even be legal in many places

this thread
>>14952305
Look closely. No one ruined a GTO. They just put a GTO front end (All the parts to which are available as aftermarket reproductions) on a Chevelle El Camino.
No GTO's were harmed in the making of that ute.
>>14952313
Good I was seriously pissed because it does look like an el Camino
I though somebody ruined a gto to make a Camino with a funky grill
>>14952280

>>14945259
It's not on that only Aussies get hektic pick ups.
The fact that the market for a vehicle that can fit a standard pallet in the back and then drive that pallet home sideways at 100mph isn't filled is a travesty.
>>14951223
Not that style though. Simple straight lines fit the utilitarian character of the W123 far better.
>>14952499
Being able to recline your seat a bit is nice though
>>14952532
Extra cab.

Tailgate is from a Ford Ranger/Mazda B-series truck
Tail lights are from a Ford Explorer Sport Track.
Payload is I believe 650 lbs, more if you use the stiffer wagon springs in the back.

You were close son.
>>14945308
Anan you can't convince them that even though the VIN says it's a (shitty car here) that it's actually a truck. Here's what they'll say "lol fuck you"
