Handles really good due to 160ft of steel spaceframe at the rear. Being treated to coilover suspension this time.
Spec is standard ,apart from exhaust and induction! (May Change)

loved the way it used to look with the roll bar thing behind the cab, I'd love to see wagons converted to pickups like this, I know that car used to be a saloon... Would you say using a wagon as a donor would be more problematic?

Would be about same amount of work on a wagon or 4 door. Easiest way is to use a 2 door.

It does seem to be in a very sorry state? Maybe the paintwork does not last very well on these aftermarket bodykits?

Paintwork had sunk slightly, as we had to join a rear door and 1/4 panel together from a 4dr kit.
