This Oz-Truck that was at TopGear live gave me a few ideas, it got me thinking about taking a mould of a hilux and doing a 1 piece FRP body. Maybe i can borrow this guys mould?

oh where was this?? i can see it was in the shed i went in.. by the cars in the backround i can see ! dam i missed this one !
it would indeed make the front end /engine easy to work on wouldnt it ! just pop the front off with some clips, but what about Injuries, should there be a seperate front bumper clip on? not saying ya ever going to spin this thing off Nige, but being a low rider, it may be prone to the old missing front fender syndrome at some stage?
what ever you do it will surely be TopNotch !!

nah, keep it metal, maybe just do the hanging panels in f’glass or carbon if you want to save weight. A 1 piece clip will make it look like a giant RC car.
