	Barring the saggy Porsche-branded tarpaulin covered in asphalt closing the back of the cab and the oh-so-late '70s/early '80s generic custom rear trailer lights, I actually quite like that It's basically just a 944 with no tailgate and the rear quarter windows plated over so it would be free of the usual IVA worries that crop up with every home-built pickup ever mentioned. Although, as such, it would be slightly less useful than a normal 944 and considerably less useful than almost any other pickup you can think of (have fun lifting anything into the "bed" over that spoiler), but it certainly looks like a giggle.

(CountVauxalots springs to mind immediately) After all, you don't have to buy it. I personally love it! I would want to get rid of the cheesy graphics and re-do all the rear bulkhead & remove spoiler....but it's certainly got some great potential and for the money you're off to a good start. It's look awesome sans spoiler and returned to OEM spec but as a pickup....and slammed. ;D

	i don't like it, the things that are putting me off are the back lights and the rear tyres are bigger than the fronts and the spoiler and pretty much every thing behind the b pillars....

	Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking silly thoughts about pickup style 924/944s. ;D

DP Shooting Brake will forever be the ultimate custom 944 for me though

	Okay, hands up who accidentally broke the tailgate off their Matchbox 1:36 scale Porsche 944 (the one with the spoiler, though the Corgi 924 with clear brittle one probably applies too), looked at it and though "OOOOH, PORSCHE PICKUP!" then continued to play with it, ignoring the moulded umbrella and suitcase?

	it looks a little odd in the rear, but i bet the glass weighs a load so its probably a weigth saving thing however, this version of a 944 pick up is pretty much exactly what id do.. heck, i might even do it to mine... lol

	that first one really reminds me of something out of ridge racer or flatout for the slightly younger generation . and thats a good thing to me. I love these subtle and well thought out cars as much as the next person but sometimes its nice to see something that bit different that you know is going to be a bit controversial. I like it a lot actually

So you're saying you'd like it if it was a perfectly standand black 944? What an odd thing to post.

	Thats great! I had a 1:32 Porsche 944 as a child and the bootlid eventually broke off so I used it as a pick-up truck.. Perhaps the builder had a similar experience.
