Cool

Sorry, but not for me. The pick up box on the back looks ugly. There was a Yellow One knocking around a few years back that looked better.

Sorry, but it is a NO from me. It does nothing for the car. The roofline is atrocious

The pick up body looks hideous but the rest, well I rather like it.
Would look much better if made into a doctors coupe with a rear “dicky seat”

That is pretty bad aesthetically speaking. The rear is literally a box, no attempt at styling at all. And the price is around the money for a top condition P4. This is just a bitsa & not a very nice one either. I like modded cars but this isn't impressive in the least.

I agree, even a 'boat tail' with dicky, or cargo, but get rid of two things, the awful box, and a few 000's off the price tag?

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder........
