I want to build something. A bit like a stadium truck? Not really sure what it would be called or where to start/research etc
Am thinking something like a pickup truck or landrover etc. But want it lowish, not jacked up like a monster truck. Double wishbones suspension, maybe dual coils/shocks. Basically something to ride over the shitty roads and not worry about too much damage. The roads are just eating suspension stuff on the corrado and the audi.
Anyone got any examples or know the sort of thing i mean, i'm literally just planning it. Could get something like a toyota hilux, i want to modify the looks as well, so its a bit mad max/armoured car look.

That looks a similar height/ground clearance to what you posted above. Get a corrado.

You will probably attract too much attention on your drug runs though.

Its a custom thing, land rover discovery chassis. Its what the place up the road from me makes, they fit the cage to the chassis and they created the bodypanels. About £8k to build apparently.

Seriously thinking about it. I know of a spare discovery chassis. It's sat next to a vr6 engine of mine at my mates workshop.
Ideally I'd like to fit a vr6 turbo to it.
