this weekend i was over at my friends place, and he has a '89 Plymouth
Voyager minivan..  the thing burns oil like crazy, he uses it for a work van
and he was going to just junk it and get a newer pickup. jokingly, i said,
"we should cut the top off and make it into a pickup truck"   and he said,
let me get the sawzall !!!     3 hours later it was a "pickup truck"  we cut
the roof off at the bottom of the window pillars and welded the lower part of
the slider door in place to keep the body integrity, and left the roof over
the cab (didnt cut A or B pillars)     all we have left to do is some finish
welding,  and weld the back hatch onto the rear of the "cab" so it wont be
open..  it wasnt hard at all..so yep ive decided to make a vanagon pickup
truck..   all the canadian spec vanagon transporter pickups are WAY to
overpriced, and just about all of them are no frills models with manual
transmissions.   i want a automatic vanagon pickup with all the bells and
whistles..
has anyone done this before?  pics? ideas?
this should be a fun project :<)
