Some of you may remember a few years back I had this FX4 Taxi    I had to sell it due to a house move and split from my g/f I'd like to own another one, do you think the same style front end (the easy and legal ,what with sva/iva stuff) would look ok with the standard taxi  end?  slammed of course, but I couldn't do a roof chop, lacking vital skills and courage for the first chop! the base car is cheap and with a bit of hacking and welding I might be able to pull it off? what say ye, rr land |

Do it! That one looks fantastic, I reckon you could carry it off with the standard taxi rear too...

er, why are you worrying about BIVA? taxis have a seperate chassis, you can do what you like to the body.  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Oh Yeah, good point popup. Was thinking back to my reg issues with the old one as that would have needed a test (it was incorrectly reg'd by a previous owner as a 56 A50) And Yes Dez, You'd probably be involved in some way |

Ha Ha, true true, Leigh and his Dub fetish , how's the caddy coming along?. Haven't seen Leigh for weeks. My only real criteria is a double bass has to fit in it some how! slammed of course, but I couldn't do a roof chop, lacking vital skills and courage for the first chop! you know where to come and I say yes, do it. so much unfulfilled potential with these. you gotta have something vaguely cool now leighs got his bug, a serena don't really cut it, lol! |

 Very bad overlay, but the idea in theory could work |

Heh heh, that's fantastic!
Always fancied doing an FX4 P/U, did a few in Photoshop but never got any further.
Always thought they'd be a good basis for a proper American style Kustom too, reckon you could chop'n'drop one and it would still retain some road presence , unlike a lot of British cars. (And that kink in the beltline is a bit 49-51 Merc, only upside down...)

Would look good if you could do the rear like a woody;  |

Right!!! Better look out for a decent mot'd taxed base car , then Morris minor bonnet , and then the harder part and prob expensive 3/4/5 bar grille then strip the interior , drop it on its and roll with a smile and a brilliant turning circle  |
