Answered my own question from ya mad max thread now! Yeah this is great too. I'm dead tempted to XR4x4 my Fiesta van in the future, you make it seem far too easy and I know it isnt! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

At first glance, it really does just look like a little Hilux! Ace!

Thanks Quite a few people have said about the Hi-Lux looks which is great because I love the old Hi-Lux's Unfortunately this isn't quite as practical as it has had over 12" cut from its length behind the doors to suit the wheelbase and the bulkhead is 4" further into the cab to allow room for the engine.  |

Did mock it up but decided on Pick -up, kinda wish I had back seats as we have a little boy now so would have been far more practical.  Oh well excuse for building something else  |
