It's funny you guys are mentioning that. I'm searching for a nice cheap VX to just chop the top off like the VX-O2.
Yes on the door mod. With the split at the cladding & gullwing'ed it would be a cool street truck, a bit hard to get into a lifted VX that way though. Without the split and regular swing it would be, as Trathlete said, a nice access mod for the rear.
No on the rear chop. I too think it makes it look Amigo-ish. If you cut the back so it could be removed and replaced at will that might be a go.

It's fun to rebadge...
IMO, Amigoish isn't a bad thing...I've painted out my rear pillars with black semi-gloss to diminish what I consider to be an "overly bulky" looking rear of the VX.Originally Posted by TEN36VX
I always liked the lines of the Amigo.
Given the money (and a savegame incase I wanted to reload and go back), I would love to do this....

The Gullwing idea is really a dream but I like the idea of the really high sill and possible removal of the doors for summer driving now that would look cool. Once I have access to better software I'm going to play with the concept some more.
As for the back chop I can see a bit of an Amigo similarity but the VX it's self is so different anyway I think it will still look good, my intention is to have a soft top cover for winter. My first job when I get back is to paint the back sections black, as Ldub, as I think it adds to the VX look.
The high sills would also allow for addition of a space frame / roll cage to add stiffness to the chassis.![]()
