Do love a pick up and finally got one. Going to give it a bit of a Nascar look. Before buying that I’ve Often thought about making my own but a lot of home made ones look pants! A friend of mine built this and I think it was right on the money! I so hope to own one of these one day!

I was looking for one, I'm pretty open minded provided it's in good nick (i.e. doesn't need any welding) but there isn't anything cheap that I could find. Even battered old rustbuckets seem to command a high price, unless I was looking on the wrong places.

Looks like the wheelbase has been extended by quite a bit on that E30. It really helps to get the proportions right. Or has it just been dropped onto a 4 x 4 chassis and the body extended to fit?

Like this, ratio is right. However, no real load bed......

Not in the remotest bit retro (although sadly they ARE out of production now), but I spent a few hours romping around the Welsh Marches in this today. 272bhp V6TDi VW Amarok with body and suspension lift by DV8. Bit of a monster around town, certainly turned a few heads with all that post-apocalyptic gubbins on it. Fun to drive, certainly when your employers are footing the fuel bills. The engines in these are an absolute joy. SO much torque, and they sound gorgeous.

Not sure if you have seen Dennis’ NASCAR Truck based one he is building?
These are awesome.
Your boy’s interpretation is perfect.
Love the license plate holder

I'm not really into bikes, but this sort of idea has been ratting around in my head for years, so thanks to your son for actually doing it.

I love this, but I think only because it reminds me so much of one of those old Dacia 1304 pick ups... I wish I could find one of these in half decent condition

While I'm on the subject of Renault based pick ups, I wish they'd made these... Robertone Motors Renault 18 4x4 pick up.
