If you'd asked 13 year old me back in the 80s to draw the car I'd be driving IN THE FUTURE, it would probably have looked a lot like that. With that paintjob. I think that says more about me than it does the car.


Another terrible car thing is that website though. I tried to look at more and bigger pics but every time the page loads it greys out when the giant FEEDBACK tab comes up. I'd give them feedback about their lovely web design, but they don't like anonymous feedback and I can't be bothered to register. :effort:

Also, 7" screens in the headrests of a loving Saturn. ION. You can tell it's a Saturn because it says so across the windshield in 6" high letters. :thumbsup:

My favorite repairs I see occasionally are sectioned cars. We had a four door Honda Civic come through, late 90's, maybe a 98 or 99? Anyway, it had been plowed in the rear end. So they get a salvage car that must have had a destroyed front clip, chop the original car in half right behind the B pillar and do the same with the donor. Weld good front half to good rear half.

There, I fixed it!

It wasn't a bad job, but seeing the weld line across the floor panels under the car had me laughing for days. Also, if you pulled up the weather strip in the back you'd see the green of the donor car instead of the silver of the titled car, and the entire trunk area under the cargo mat was green. At least they installed a new roof skin on that particular car, we had one come through once that actually had the roof cut and welded. As long as it gets titled as a salvage car, it's perfectly legal to sell, register, and drive it that way.

e- content, sorry for the blurry pictures. My old work camera, the focus was so hosed. I've since got a new one. Yes, the top is wood.

hi and welcome to my auction,
i have been working on this project for the past 2 years, but unfortunately i have lost my unit
so it has to go. gutted!
right this is what has been done,
the chassis, engine and running gear is off a ford cargo 0813 6 cylinder diesel and i have log book for that in my name.
i am the 2nd owner before that it was a prison wagon so has done no hard work,
the body is a ford transit crew cab with a transit van rear, and i have log book for that too in my name
so it would be up to you witch log book you use. weight of vehicle is 3.5 ton
also is a l200 pick up back with canopy. which has a 1 ton lifting ram on it, the fuel tank sits underneath it.
back does come off as seen in pics.
this vehicle does drive .
inside is a full leather interior out of an mercedes ambient 7 seater with flip down tv.
front lights are range rover sport ,the dash is standard transit that works with air clocks built in ceiling that work.
Right things that need to be done to finish,
wire up batteries to alternator , did buy 2 new ones for but have gone flat over the 2 years did try and charge them but no joy, so winner would have get new ones.
vehicle will start and drive with 2 boosters, for loading purposes. to collect this vehicle you would need a 7.5 ton recovery truck
indicators need wiring ,
oil temp and water temp needs wiring also speedo.
engine bay would need painting.
chassis has all been painted ,
exhaust would need lifting higher underbody , just for looks really .
also fix side steps on .
this vehicle makes a hummer look small, its a one off.
please no time wasters .
cash and pick up only. thanks for looking









Dr Frankenstein would be proud.

Hey now if your dash pad is cracked in multiple places, a dash rug is a good way to cover it up. :colbert:

... until you pop the passenger side air bag in an accident :v:

I had one of them in my F-150, but the dash had a huge hole in it right in the middle... dash had pinholes in it so that a mono speaker could be mounted under it, that poo poo fell right apart
