Just because I can :

For those who want a more 'sportier' version based on the yet to be seen WRX ...

Cheers, Bantum ...

Edit : Aw crap, photo buckets f*#! up again - will have to come back & fix links ... :/

Sorry but that just looks like a VE Commodore in the middle picture.
And Peugeot 205CC in the last pic

Still a thousand times better than I could draw though

Great drawings but the tray is still too short.

I have a fair idea which concept WRX this is modeled from

TOONGA

How about a BRZ ute ? Body length is about right, tails could work shape-wise, and best of all RWD &#55357;&#56835;

Speaking of the BRZ, while searching for more background info I came accross some interesting photos :

See here for info on the BRZ Chassis ...

Which no doubt should help in the fabrication department ...

Cab height it too low in my opinion. Sorry for the negative feedback on your efforts for the drawings - you've got quite a skill there!

Cheers

Ahem ... you'd be nearly lying down in this version, as it's design to go fast ...

Hence the low drag coefficient going on ...

That's exactly what I have in mind for the under body of this version ... !

I've just put a larger body over it as the BRZ one is way too small ...

P.S. - I'll have to add a person to it to get a better perspective of scale ... :ninja:

Here are a few examples ..

The granny :

The Crash Test Dummy :

The F1 :

Now that would be interesting ...

+ a few others :

Like the 'Pimp' one ...

Will see what else I can find ... :0

Edit : Damn lost the link to original, will try & re-locate ... ;(

That looks even more like a Commodore than the drawings posted earlier ............

Probably done exactly that - the cab and rear view mirrors look VZ to me...

Panel matching is a bit rough 'n' ready on that purple beast.

Post by **Bantum** » Tue Sep 10, 2013 1:30 am

Yep I'd agree with that it was probably photo chopped from a Holden ...

P.S. - found another interesting concept :

Based on the Chevrolet Montana, more details here ...

As to my proposed beast - No progress on modelling it yet, when it get round to it ...

Ciao , Bantum ...

^ That's pretty neat! If something like this were used I'd like to see a bit more tray space forward of the rear wheel. Other than that it really looks the part!

That chev concept looks like a big brother version of what i reckon a modern day Brumby would look like - but without the sporty body kit and with more ground clearance.

Cheers

Haha Bantum that is the bloke, Trevor, who used to service my gen2 Legacy when I live in NZ. The gen2 chop with the cover is just their runabout/pickup parts etc and the impreza was still being built 2012. Had an absolute weapon under the bonnet!

Yeah thats definitely cool

One of the best ute conversions I have seen. Although the rear part of the cab looks just a bit too big/long - but I guess thats the shortest they could get it by using the rear section of a sedan.

Maybe thats what I should have done instead of trying to get WRX gear into my Brumby
That might be my next project with my RS wagon if I ever finish the Brumby.

Or maybe my Mitsubishi Legnum wagon like this :

Yep :like: it ...

... ( Doh - you have to be member to see what's in that link )

Also found some more on this beast :

Finished in nice blue - Also note the rear hatch is similar to what I was thinking ...

Except justy like the WRX it is a bit too long in the rear cab

Love that opening rear window idea, maybe not that high but it's pretty sweet!
