A lot of those conversion's would look a lot better without the obligatory chequer plate finish.

It's the pickup makers woodchip wallpaper isn't it.

I've always thought that the old ford bantam bakkie stuff they sell in south africa would go down well over here, no idea why they didn't supply them

In the UK most of these are illegally registered as they should be on Q plates.

I'll add this as I've not seen this one before.

That's truly astounding. A mid-engined pickup!!

drastically modified monocoque (unless it's classic Rangie or a Disco )

I thought if it was done a few years back an engineers report would enable age related plate to be retained.

This one has been around for a while. A couple of conversions done in the US too.

I'm not convinced that just removing the tailgate and lining the boot counts.

That's not a conversion. That's how it left the factory.

I seem to remember a company making mk2 fiesta convertibles called a fiesta fly.

Yes there was, the company was called Crayford

I found this time-lapse video, which looks like the same, using a Smyth kit. 40-70 work hours.
