ThreePointFive Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Was there any explanation as to what they were trying to acheive or why? They must have had a very specific look in their mind, I am genuinely curious as to how they feel about the result and what the motivation was. There's a fair amount of effort gone into it, like movng the hinges and slam pannel, the sheet metal in making up the sides. Then making a hole in the raised section for no apparent reason. And that's not even mentioning the paintwork. So many questions to be answered. Â On a side note, looking back through this thread there are now many ebay ads that are gone forever, with only the comments here as a testament to their existence. To prevent this important historical record from being lost, I think screenshotting the adverts might be a good way to preserve them forever, and so that the generations to come don't repeat our car modifying mistakes.

He also made a custom dash that looked like a smashed pinball machine, and made a custom 'pepperpot' rear lamp arrangement with lamps hidden behind circular cutouts in the rear panels - looked a bit like firing a shotgun into a lampshade if you can picture that. On one of the South African groups I follow, but when he asked what he could get for it and I suggested a box of matches, admin had a sense of humour failure 🙂 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be an explanation in part, the ID of a vehicle is 100% invested in the chassis in Ireland. But chassis alterations would require an engineers report.............. But apparently it is on a UK plate? The year of the Irish plate and the B reg are the same on the face of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Reminds me of that 6x4 we had last year with the 'Bulletproof' grille and the advert that essentially said it was a deathtrap waiting to happen. Looks better executed than that, at least. I might have missed it, but does it say/show it is actually 6x6? Even putting aside the legalities - which are huge - I cannot see how anyone running a business would want to take on a 36 year old vehicle at a price above most entry level pickups of similar capacity, and nor would any 'enthusiast' in their right mind part with £30k for a tipper they don't need and that will have no added off road ability. Who is the target audience here?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 It's only a 6x4 so completely useless. However if it was £5k it would be worth ditching the tipper and fitting a camper body. Then if you figure out proper 6x6.......then it could be very cool. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair of ramps off the back and for loading vehicles? Mind you I can't comment because I plan on adding a pair of rams to convert the flat bed on the 6x6 into a tipper.... Admittedly it does have sides and I might have a cunning plan for other stuff too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
