Here's one for the brave....
I wonder how much this will fetch?

to me it's a perfect way to build a super 'g' shorten the terrible body back to a nice sized two door cab and fit a dropside ali body /perhaps ditch the petrol engine for something like a 605a/606a etc and you have a really useful practical truck .
value ?? 2k ish £ who knows ? like i said i would use it to make a super 'g' the worst bit is done for you BUT if it has been done badly then it is just a pile of parts unless you are brave enough to finish it ,it really is a monstrosity just imagine the bill for the trimming out the whole interior.. it's grim.
Should have been sold by now - any more makes it over the top. That's all my decision, yep, I decided for my self. .
this is i am sure mark vultures....
i saw it first hand almost 10 years ago.
shame really.. this G was his dream project and mark was a great bloke.he was a blindling geezer that vanished off the face of gwoa.....
rgds hus.
Have to agree with that, with no pictures of the underneath you have to fear the worst. Shame really its not a bad idea, and good to see it was here 1st not a copy of an Austrian effort
I asked if it had been SVA'd but was told it hasnt.Whats involved in doing this or is it just a non starter to go down that road?cheers.nick
it's such an odd beast it should be saved as a club project

It would be hats off id you decided to tackle this project. As has been mentioned earlier if the Chassis is OK then you have a slightly better chance, than none at all. If you did take this on what you would have at the end of it is one amazing G, probably unique in the UK and a nice little earner for school proms, stag night out, carriage for the odd visiting 3rd world dictator / Mafia boss.
Best of British!

I'm sure it is Mark Vulture's, I recognise the sill boxing he did on G's. If it is Mark's one, it will be solid, he knows what he is doing.
Ugly though!
I am pretty sure it's Mark Vulture's truck :-)
