brapp brapp!
It HAS to be a 3dr IMO... as in a 5dr, because the doors are shorter, (too short!) the front seats are actually behind the B-pillar when in a comfortable position.
So if you did it to a 5dr, you'd be sitting right forward lol.
If you used a 3dr and cut just behind the B-pillar, you'd still have a fair cabin space.

Nah the shape has to be the 3-door style but I just don't think there'd be enough space in the pickup bed to make it worthwhile.
On that scooby saloon, the body is a 4-door but they've added an extra bit of cabin to get the lines right and provide enough space for the seats, works rather well I think.
Ideally I'd have 3 door B pillars and doors and a saloon shell, but thats impractical.
I reckon use a saloon shell, then the rearmost part of the roof and top of the tailgate from a 3/5 door, so you have room to sit and it rounds off the back of the cabin.

Construct a back part of the cabin from a GTi B-pillar, on a 4-door chassis.

Will it be used as a Pick-Up truck though?
Or is it just one of those Things to be different?
e/g Scotts Van, was made into a van, but wasn't really used as a van, so rather than mix matching shells, just do it on a 3 door.

Anyone in the south got a good Axel grinder? S330 MBD looking like an ideal candidate for overhauling :cool2:

Axel Grinder?
WTF
WTF
U knew what I meant bitch :tt2:
Gets damn draughty. Anyone who's driven a WW2 jeep will know what I mean. DAMN cold.
I'd want to use it as a pickup, not a show car. My cars earn their living.
