2 door FB wagon build in SA

This is being built by Aaron Bray for his girlfriend Mira Mae. Pics from instagram. Looks like a neat build :thumbsup: It was her Christmas present, and she wanted him to chop it up - my kinda girl! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Another one below but I think its been chopped too far for my likes. I'd have to see them in the flesh. Good concept and something different to the usual builds. :glasses:

It's a great concept making the 2 door'd using the rear curved piece like that. :thumbsup:
I recon that blue one is the ducks guts (in looks), too bad it's having trouble getting on the road.

I like the idea of a nomad wagon.
Well done. Should look great when done.
I also like the sedan delivery that was being built on here. I dont know what happened to it.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The blue one has some nice elements, but it's a look too chopped for my liking and makes the windscreen look a little awkward.

Here's some more pics of the FB which have just been posted up. A decent amount of work for some subtle details, I really like it :thumbsup:

Really? Going by the second image it wasn't perfect. I'd say they've done an excellent job making a factory looking nomad.

it's tops the only thing I don't like and it's the same with the chopped one and that is I think there's to much of a curve to the top of the door by just using the rear door curve

Yeah - if I were biulding it I would have canted the B pillar at the same angle as the rear pillar and radiused the top of the rear part of the doorframe like a ute/van door.

I thought the top of the door looks too radiused.

I look at a vehicle like that, and can only dream that I had the metal skills to make one up. Damn nice job.

Cheers,
