Here's one for you.
Might not be your cup of tea but he did a pretty nice job.

Yes, nicely done, looks like professional body work. I don't think it looks too bad. I assume it was a kit, wonder who made it.

I kind of like it too. Not a big fan of the headlights but it looks like someone did a very nice job on the conversion. They definitely have the room to store the 1 piece top at least.

Greenwood did the family truckers before ecklers and to many the lines of the greenwood looked better,
This appears to be a greenwood that a clever person modded the hatch so you could actually fit something back there,
Still...you have to have thick skin and a sence of humor to drive one of these

PS..20K ?!?!@?!? never happen

I generally don't care for the square headlight conversions but that doesn't look too bad with the clear plastic covering.

I don't know about the thick skin and sense of humor, I kinda dig it. I would drive it. I do agree with you on the 20 grand though.

I like it also. If it were mine, I would put the factory alloys or rallies on and ditch the headlight covers for the original pop ups.

If one would say, i want the station-wagon kit, take a guess at the cost at your local body-shop at today's costs??

Having worked on two wagon kits, its not user friendly..


Just saying, i would drive it..

You'd probably know better than us. How many hours did it take you? Multiply by $80 or $100 per hour.

It looks better than the wagon kit with side windows. At least this flows better maybe?

This without side windows was the delivery style.
I like this one the best of any I have seen but I would feel dorky driving it, in a fun way, for 5-8K would hit the seller up.
About thick skin and sense of humor, try driving one daily and after a week of comments from people you will either have thick skin and sense of humor or have been bailed out and or the beast up for sale....

( I meant that all in fun, I have also played with kit cars over 35 years, )

I think that upon a close inspection and if everything looks really good, and nothing bubba'd, particularly with the low miles, $20K would be OK.
Once again for a custom job, it'd be important that all the work was quality.
