TIP would it be better getting a 19 16v convertable, less to cut up... an chassis build better to make it pick up,,

 

[misterjay]

yeah but that mean making a roof or cutting up another shell

I've got a tip.

Don't cut up anything that's a monocoque shell. There is no class in the new IVA test for a conversion to pickup and so you'll never get it legal until there is. Even if there was you would have to build it and renew everything else to make sure it's up to IVA standard.

keep it to paper.

BIVA does allow for pickup conversion but it has to be within goods vehicle limits- ie bed dimensions, gross weight, loading weight.

Basically, as has been said, because you will kill a bus-stop full of nuns carrying orphan kittens to a church raffle if you even contemplate removing the roof they have made it hell.

In fact, it has been hell since 1998.


Looks good though

[misterjay]

this is confusing me now

 

[JR]

is that a church raffle raising money for abandoned projects?

 

[misterjay]

well im gonna do some ringin around and find out for my self but i dont care even if project turns into a trailer queen im doing it

 

[PhilA]

Just checked. SVA still appliccable for converted goods vehicles until October, but that'll only be granted if they believe the vehicle's primary purpose it to haul goods.

BIVA has no test (I read wrong) for vehicles converted to pick-up.


In short, you can do it but you can't register nor drive it on public roads.

[misterjay]

well the other half says i cant spend to much money on this project so project slammed mite have to get cut up

 

[Larry]

as for the legality, there are several pick up conversions on the retro rides forums which are being used as peoples daily cars, how did they go about making them leagle, may be worth asking on there

 

[misterjay]

yeah i know that where i got the idea from
