I was talking to a guy who lived in the US Virgin Islands when the Gurgel came up. I guess someone imported a whole bunch of them to be rented out to vacationers and locals who only need a car for short periods. According to him they were well liked. Cheap, tough, and easy to repair.

Awesome Nomad I saw yesterday Sweet Scout  Seen this a few times around town, but never driving - I want to ask the owner what's under the hood if I can ever catch them.

Pile Of Garbage posted:1977 Toyota Hilux Memories! When I was 14, my girlfriend's mom had that truck. It had sat in the front yard for a few years and got painted up by our local middle school's art class. Peace signs, flowers, vines, good vibes slogans. At some point our little Sentra was in the shop, so GF's mom let my mom drive it for a couple weeks. "Death truck". No brakes, no power, spotty electrics, weak clutch, and a brick for an e-brake. She started right up after a jump though, and worked for as long as we needed her! Riding in the thing was a trip. Happy hand waves and one foot out the door.

Autech made a mid-engined K11 and  Wedged an SR20 in the back as an engineering exercise. This would have been so much fun, the K11 is a rollerskate. https://twitter.com/syu_uu_/status/1633260464707862530?t=txnWQOUKpfSyffug71FYHg&s=19

Guy down here built a K12 into a time attack car, I can't find a pic of the engine bay in its current form, it started with a FWD VQ35DE setup mounted in the rear, but has progressed to a longitudinally mounted VQ35DE twin turbo, sequential gearbox and AWD with custom 'reversing' transfer case - because the engine is facing the wrong way, engine to the rear, gearbox and TC in the middle. Around 800hp. Built in his single garage.  Extensive video on his channel along with various customer work: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLabLimited

Truck show picture dump of awesome things and nothing but positivity incoming: Rampside Corvairs are awesome. Mid engine conversions are awesome too, even when they're not done..   Step vans are awesome. Creamsicle paint is awesome. Ice cream is awesome. Old work trucks being used for work is awesome.  Huge blowers are awesome.  Tube frames are awesome. Mid engine conversions are awesome again.    Sharpie art is awesome.   Panel Suburbans are awesome.  Trucks with THREE ENTIRE FEET chopped out of them while still maintaining proportions and lines are awesome.   This other step van is awesome.  And finally, this itty bitty Samurai is awesome.

WTFBEES posted:Truck show picture dump of awesome things and nothing but positivity incoming: I love every one of those. Did not expect the engine of choice on the minitruck. Not sure of the engine of choice on the Corvair rampside. A big coolness factor to me on that truck is the rampside utility, so filling it with an engine - a V6 of all things - is kinda meh. Stuck a Subie 3.6L flat six back there in the original location! BuckyDoneGun posted:Good trucks! Oooooooooo!
