Any fc pickup conversions?

just like the title reads. Has any body modded thier fc to a pickup yet? i was just wondering cause like a month ago i took the rear hatch off and since then ive been wanting to do a custom pickup mod using fiber glass. im planning on starting it once my rear seats come in the mail. but before i started i wanted to see if there were any pics that could help me out with design plans. any info or pics at all will help alot.

try it, but don't overload it. Also, your headlights look broken.

oh and i know im not in the right section but since its related to my car i thought id just post this here too. I guess im not going to be needing the rear hatch anymore so if anyone needs one then email me with a decent offer, im not jst gonna give it up for like 10 bucks so dont ask. i prefer pickup but if you want it delivered your going to have to pay for all the shipping. so email me if you want it... bobtheboob692001@hotmail.com

you know, japan sure does have a lot of followers in america. its almost like they know they're being copied, so they're seeing what unbelievably rediculous things they can do and _still_ have someone out there say "i like that idea!"
el camino. ugly.
drifting truck silvias!!!!!!!!wowsa!!@!!$#%!! be the first kid on your block to have this hideous joke played on you. turn your sports car into a truck today!

why don't you drop the engine into an older B-series mazda truck? maybe then you might maintain a bit of resale value. i mean, i'm just sayin, i wouldn't want a car not even a junkyard would take. but thats me.

I don't really believe the FC has enough booty to make a good looking pickup conversion. The Silvia or Sileighty do though, and they don't really look that bad.

Never did like the Elcamaro things.

I know they do it to reduce weight(hatch == heavy) but I love the style of hatches.

"Big Trend" ????? I don't think so projectredsuns. Are you in Japan or been close to hear in the last few years? Don't use 1 car as an example and don't talk out of your ***.
