Cool looking build. I like the weather-beaten look to the paint and the chopped roof profile.

That really looks the business, Dirk and it makes a change to the longer roof profile of a station wagon chopped like that. I love the weathering which gives it the look of something that could star in one of those post-apocalypse films such as the Mad Max series. Really great work.

An excellent build Dirk, been waiting for you to finish this.

To say you do not have the skills has been totally proven wrong, the way you sorted out the chassis problems and the modifications, including the seats is truly inspiring.

The weathering is also spot on and you have achieved what you set out to do.

I've got a couple of bike builds planned at the moment but you have given me the inspiration to get started on a modified build of a Citroen 2CV pickup I have been putting off.

Top rate build.
