"In engineering there is an answer to everything, It's just that we're usually too ignorant or too dim to see it." Keith Duckworth If you'd binned it into something that either didn't move, or survived intact (like I did, well, technically I landed on top of it, skillzorz... |

Utterly bonkers. When I scrolled down, I'd've sworn blind that it was a photoshop. I bet it goes well, though, I wonder what it'd be like up Prescott Hill....  |

very clever! Rather than try to work via the rear hatch on a normal golf, shove it in the bed area of a pickup, and just permanently bolt a hard top over the top!!
Sometimes.. the most obvious ideas, are the ones that are so damned good!

Right, just had a peek at the original thread. This guy is a legend  Quote As a truck mechanic, Marty had all the technical knowledge, along with a knack for brute functionality and no-Bullplop construction. His building technique was especially cunning. While big car companies use CAD-software with advanced modeling, Marty kept it simple, developing the chassis mock-up in Lego so he could get a feel for the construction. Armed with a Lego Technic-kit he constructed a plastic framework to evaluate the rigidity and function of the proposed chassis. Bending and flexing the prototype, he made changes until he thought a functional, real-world frame was ready to be built. Steel tubes were laid out on the garage floor, measured, cut and welded to match the scale model. Armed with an electric saw and TIG-welder, he cut up the body of his ’88 VW Caddy and integrated the tubular chassis. A car was born. Quote This guy belongs on RR, no doubt |
