Judging by the door handles and the rear quarter bulge, that was an extra van.

You have a extra can, an angle grinder, spare body kit.. Could do a GTT front end conversion... A mate who can paint....

Do it... I will even help... 172powered extra GT extra van;)

Lets get it done!!

Seen this a while back, looks to be an extra van with a gtt roof, front end and the rear chopped...you can get a pickup version in some countries but the roof and rear is slightly different.

The only problem with doing these mods in the uk is the strict iva test after altering the monocoque to make it legal.

Quick google brings this badboy up

That was a really nice van, remember seeing it at pod.. Would have been a lovely pick up but finding time for these things is a nightmare.
