Photoshop. The C-pillar in the window shows it if the undefined lines, shadows, and splotched paint don't. For any kind of useful seat travel, you'd need a longer cockpit section, too. Wouldn't end up in a real long bed. About 5', I think unless you really tried to squeeze the cockpit. I looked into this since for my books since a truck would be too ordinary for my character's shop vehicle. Settled on a much more practical side-loader hearse with a sliding platform for heavy items.

Practical, yeah. And common, too. Like an f150.

Now I really wanna read your book.

stretch the bed a bit, and the cockpit too and it'd look good to me.
of course I'm an elky/brat/baja fan

I think that has been done already by a company in england. They did it to a 22b if i remember correctly (maybe)

edit: the company is www.htautos.co.uk

Yup, it was done to an Impreza with a 22b body-kit.

The photoshop/chop job looks pretty good to me.

Um, what in the hell just were they thinking when they did that? *sigh* poor car...

I personally love the HT Autos one. It is the stuff. How sick would it be with a motor cross bike on the back. You could drive until you got a point where you couldnt go with 4 wheels then jump on two wheels and go. I want

Poor lego. Looks like the guy took a sawzil to that

Maybe he really wanted a Baja, but couldn't afford one.

Reminds me of the pre-facelift wagon I've seen a couple times that was hacked into a pickup. It even had XT hood emblems on the B pillars. Wish I could see it again and try to buy it. Could use a new parts runner, cause I doubt an EJ22T would fit in an XT trunk

poor wagon!!!!

i dont know where all the juiced up brats are but i sure hope i get one some day!!

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 3:49 am

You can fit an engine in the back of a wagon without chopping the roof. Easily.

MPtyza · Post by **MPtyza** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:19 am

I'm sure it would fit, I had one in my Trooper last weekend, was just a bitch to get up in there with it being enclosed. I kinda liked that hacked Legacy I saw though, maybe get it cheap as nobody else would want it, except probably the guy who made it. Not saying I would hack it myself though.

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Wed Oct 17, 2007 4:37 am

I used a short chain on an engine crane and just found the right angle to wheel it under the car. Just had to push it inwards a little to drop it on a wood cradle. I suppose you could fit two with the seats down, but a rolling caddie would be real nice. What I liked was that the engine's so light that it barely compressed the suspension and didn't affect the handling.

I drove my EJ18 home over 50 miles in the back of my grandpa's wagon. Didn't have to fold the seats down or anything.
