space frame pick up truck

[travisreeve]

okay this is just a thought at the minute  as for i need to finish the mk1 for next year

basically im ' already ' looking into my next project aha ( no halm in that )

im realy liking the idea of building a space frame pick up truck from scratch and building it around an r32 engine

i know alot of work will be involved but do any of you guys know of any projects that have been space frame built just so i can have a read up

Steady on fella. 

No doubt you have the skills, I think the hardest part is roadworthiness and passing the relevant tests.

Might be worth your time dropping Archie a line who's on here doing the volksrod. Bet he knows people who are more clued up judging by some of the creations his crew have put together.

If you are desperate to stay VAG the VW Taro is a rebranded Hilux.

Another one to get people going:
