JAM is really coming to a close now.

When JAM hits the road, I will need to think about Project #2 :mrgreen:

This next one will be a much longer 'long term' project. Soooo......I can really go to town with the engineering!!!

This is what I am thinking :wink:

~ Hybrid - not sure what motor yet, but it won't be A series
~ I always wanted a convertible....so this one will be a chop top - no roof at all 8) Anyone ever chopped a van?!?
~ I would luuuuuuurve a black car - so black it 'might' be :wink:
~ I suppose it will have one of those round fronts on it too :x :lol:
~ 13's......yea...why not. (Anyone ever run 14's?)

Ahhhhh....it's nice to dream 8)

Mutant runs 14's.
So, a black convertable ute? Sounds cool.
When do you think this could start happening?

My next would be trying to recreate or restore either a fastback broadspeed or a Jem or Marcos 8) I reckon these are the bee's :D
This is assuming I had more money than I knew what to do with and the time to work on it and could work out how to go about it :oops: :oops: :oops:

I once saw an HZ Holden ute with the roof chopped. I guess a Mini van with chopped roof would be a similar look. I haven't seen one before. Might have to photoshop it to get an idea....

How about a black windscreen-less tub with the doors welded up.
Starlet 4efte motor with 4wd to get the power down.

Can be done, but you would have to use a pre '67 to get around the ADRs!
You could always graft a clubby metal flip front onto it :idea:
