neil1971 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 This topic reminds me, a couple of times when driving I've seen a home made pick-up running around in Wickford, it's quite heavily customised so not easy to identify what it is, saw it again last Friday and managed to remember the reg long enough to write it down when I'd stopped and it comes up as a 1971 BMW 2500, any other local shiters spotted it?

bangernomics Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Something that I’ve always wanted a go at. Did make an allegro convertible before driving it to the scrappers but it was rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_ZTT Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 That Rover at the top is actually beautifully executed. It was featured in PC mag recently. He has a penchant for Rover 75s and has also done a push-me-pull-you version (yes I know) and a very clever and rather lovely two door coupe. Trouble with the pick up though, like all the others above, is it still manages to look rubbish.Yeah I enjoyed reading about this lot too. The coupe is a truly wonderful thing, the other two fall more under 'interesting oddities'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davocano Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Different reg but surely must be the same one that fordperv posted up there; seen here in 2016. Another Beetle and another negative advertisement for mind-altering substances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davocano Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Needs a paint job at the very least. Minor pickups were a factory thing but not with a stepside. I have no idea what this is meant to carry. Supernaut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 How about this pile of shit. How about this pile of shit.

LightBulbFun Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 FX4 pick up (sorta) anyone? https://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2015/09/abandoned-hackney-carriages-black-cab-graveyard-london/ (I still much rather have a whole one ) mercrocker and Yoss 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Funny how life pans out. I'd been thinking about starting this thread for a while but only got round to it a couple of days ago. Then we pass this on the M3 this morning.So I would have started it today anyway. It takes a lot of work to make a Clio worse but I think they managed.

fordperv Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm assuming that's the one in the Chesterfield area, there surely can't be more than one person who thought that was a good idea.I've seen it around stoke a bit but they could well be visiting family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Minor pickups were a factory thing but not with a stepside. 33269943172_d4e1b6ec93_o.jpg There is a lot more to this than meets the eye.....Those are traveller doors (or at least, 2 door saloon) but there is no strength at all in a de-forested Traveller. A modified commercial Minor cab which incorporated such longer doors and still had B pillars would not give nearly enough room for that length of bed. Simplest route, I guess, would be to just stretch the Minor LCV chassis but its still a lot of work to produce a non-original Minor pickup!
