Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side...:smilewink
VERY nice work...:thumbup:.:yes:.:_beer:
very cool.. really digging the "rollbar" in the back.. really not feeling the spoiler though.. overall very clean and awesome looking!
Good God. Why did you show me that? I have to lock up my sawzall to stop myself.
Must resist
Not quite as clean as the O2 IMHO, but I think you have to wonder if this (minus the spoiler) is what a production model would have looked like. The concept had no rollbars, no cover, and probably only minor extra gusseting to compensate for the lack of a roof. Isuzu may very well have implemented this roll bar design to make it pass US safety standards and allow for some sort of top.
Bravo my Russian friend. Bravo. :cool:
How does one stop the precipitation?
I like it but don't much care for the painted cladding...
That looks like a quality chop job for sure. Proof that it can be done!
Bart
The original '02 was proof of that!!
wonder if there's a functioning top
I see no reinforcement to the windshield pillars.
The rear hoop really should be triangulated forwards or back.
John
A top is a WIP.
Also, the side windows had to be removed.
I will re-post pictures as they come available )
Prefer to maintain the structural integrity like on my summer mod. TTop rail adds to windshield support and removable canopy for the rear. ;)

Regardless, too rare to take a sawzall to. :(
