The rear end was fitted
with flush light lenses cut from trailer light units. |
The bonnet always goes
on last because it can`t be sprayed until the vehicle is out of the garage. |

My favourite picture
of the pickup. It would look at home in any top US magazine. |
Side view with no roof..
Compare the direction of the spokes on the wheels with the picture to the
left. |

The forward hinging bonnet
makes it stand out from the crowd. |
Smooth clean lines. A
case of less is better. Photos by Rob Hawkin`s. |

The lowered front bumper
makes the front of the vehicle look lower. I would have liked to see it even
lower, but the length of the hockey stick prevented this. |
The wheels are nearly
10 years old in this picture. They are anodised and Robin looked after them
well. They were a large investment when he bought them but worth it. |
|||||||
The engine bay has only
the engine in it. All the wiring is behind the inner wings with the washer
bottle and the expansion tank is behind the bulkhead. |
The smooth dash and clean
interior. The quarter light is smaller so it match's the roof line. Larger
toughened side windows were made. |
|||||||
The cover for the cab
enabled Robin to leave the pickup safely without the roof even in the rain.
The removable steering wheel means it can sit flat. |
The original 2000cc engine
was getting tired so we did a rebuild. Here the engine is already to go back
in. The garage had another project in so the job is being done in the carport. |
