That is cheap :shock:

But it is also slab sided - no pressings or side openings.
The china mokes have the right pressings, but they are $4,500

Only on the outside, they are flat at the back, on the insides and the floor.

At least the china mokes have a square exhaust tunnel, that one is completely flat - imagine the flex in that thing. Not to mention how totally illegal it would be to drive it. I can't even see shock mounts at the rear.

I would have thought most of the strength was in the box sections / sides... This one being solid would surely be stronger than the normal moke (although your comments are 100% noted... haha...)

I wonder if it's one of those things that someone buy's , finds they can't register it , sell's it , the next person does the same etc till it gets to that price .

It does look a bit scary on the floor flexing , might be alright if you wanted something cheap for a motorkhana shell though .

What about if you plugged the 3 holes in the bottom... would it be OK as a boat?

Brilliant idea! Much better than a real moke shell as a trailer!

Go for it!

Either that or make it into a shorty moke , you wouldn't notice the missing indentations on the side then .
