I've been thinking about this one for a couple of weeks now...
Has anyone chopped a feroza into a trayback? I think it would look really cool if it was done right. Not just "take out the rear seats and leave the hard top off.
A real trayback, solid wall behind the drivers seats with a window for rearview, then aluminium tray kind of thing.
your not the only one thats thought of a trayback roza fearhoza, i've seen a pic or 2 on this forum that looks sweet! just need to break out my fibreglass and make one.
truck looks awesome mate, wish you had it with you today, would have needed to close shop early!
so how much lift do you have in total? any mods up front or just torsion bars?
if you plan on making up a fibreglass plate to convert the roza, feel free to make a second for yours truly
as i was saying as well, im on the lookout for hq-hz ute rear leaves, and vk-vs commodore wagon shocks. they bolt right on. then just chuck some extended shackles on the back and we have liftoff!
are you still in the area? i've got the coffs DVD here if you are interested, or maybe pm me your address and ill pop a copy into a post pack for you.
Nice job and no cost for doing it because as far as i see you have used the plastic top of the feroza am i right? Some details on measures and input could be good for the future (when my feroza want be any more my daily car but my toy )
i used the rear windsreen atached to some 12mm ply. made some brackets out of 2mm steel to fill in the gap around the window and the body, then used the original rubber seal, that the window normaly closes to, and atached it to the metal brackets to seal it.
then used the rear lid and cut the back peice off to finish the job off.
it worked quite well but the tricky bit was sealing it to make it waterproof inside the cab. make sure you've got plenty of silicone sealer!
cut the back off the feroza yesterday, looks pretty
sweet, modifying the engine bay today, so the V6
can fit more comfortably,then create new body mounts.
that should do for today..then roll cage,followed by
the back panel & finishing..will start adding pics to
pigletracing section over next few weeks
hay jav
sorry not forum.. I ment topic..in the daihatsu section

see the feroza cab now,,it has been trimed even more
& now sits on the chassis at corect height..

looks good but still liked it better with the fridge body on it. Looks to modern now, have to start calling you a hair dresser. http://www.flickr.com/photos/90884666@N00/
just as long as i dont start driving like a hair dresser..
it was a toss up weather to stay daihatsu or go toyota rav
uted..but the feroza is coming together well..
had to leave the scat shape,,seems a few people have
discovered its shape as a comp truck..
how is your project doing?? be great to catch up over
some beers to check it out,you want a 6 wheeler as a
project, for a tow rig?? probably only cost you a few
bottles of wildturkey. its a custom dual cab style side
ute 6wheel drive scat,only missing motor g/box & trannie
some rust,but less than your yellow one
Had 3 weeks of over xmas to work on it, made one engine mount , but drank lots of beer, you'd better pm me some details about this other one . i'm going to have to live to 250 years old to finish half the crap i got here
yes,,true that about 250 years,, my chassis is down getting
straightened & stregnthend at pres(didnt like the back flip)
