Saxo Pick-up - update 23/11

[Qucifer666]

Though i would share this with you lot, as you are most likely to see it, or be asked to help me with it.

Im making a saxo pick-up, its from ben_saxo's old white vtr he had for breaking, and he is kindly helping me out where needed

How it started





Then after a bit of angle grinding










We have now fitted a vts rear axle, i have a vts engine with a 1.4 box on it.
Its all going black, and im fitting a mk1 vw caddy front lights and grill.

let me know what you think,

[Jordysport]

Awsome, will look stunning and with a VTS engine it will go like the clappers. will it be lighter?? or will the bulkhead etc make up for the weight in the roof. also you are going to need alot of strengthening on the rear shell otherwise it will twist like no tommorow the first time you take it out. btw if you need any panels i have loads in white (wings, doors (one damaged), slam panel, grille)

[Sneakydevil89]

haha, this is the car i got my VT Kit off, seems a long time ago now that we were scrambling about in the rain trying to get the buggers off.

its going to look raelly good mate, will be keeping an eye on this.

[Qucifer666]

its having a custom 6 point rollcage built, with a cross bar going across the top of the wind screen and one by where the cab will be, with a cross section there.

it will prob be heavier, but it will be different.

i need cheap mk1 wings and doors, any colour so if you have some let me know the price.

i have a vt kit coming for it, im not going to do to much to it, leave it standardish to start.

im going for another smooth dash and its having a touch screen monitor in there for a computer, and im mounting a dome camera on the roof.

[Qucifer666]

i couldnt hold it in any more, i told a few people who i was buying parts off. so i felt i better let it be known instead of rumours

[Paulp]

Putting a rollcage in?

[Qucifer666]

yes i am, 6 point roll cage, for stregth, and that includes a bar across the top of the windscreen, one where the cab wall will be put and then a cross section in that aswell to stop it crushing me.

Quality

[sam-6]

looks like a good idea, havnt seen it done before!

[Qucifer666]

got a lick of paint on the bonnet



and this is what im converting the front end to

[James106]

this would look ace, i know its everywhere but could look very euro ? lowered and deep dish wheels

[Qucifer666]

i want hydraulics or air bag on it, so its prob going down about 35mm as thats the springs i have, and wheels im not too sure yet.

[Paulp]

It wont look like a saxo at all once finished imo lol.

[kirtisb]

cant wait to see this finished.

the only main difference is going to be the front grill and the lack of roof at the back.
