Thanks for the comments guys.
Not too bad with the pinto, fairly quick. Stopping takes a little planning, but not too bad.
I'm in Cornwall

I'm not sure I like the Minor bonnet extension, looks a bit too obvious for me. Rest is awesome.

Really nicely proportioned that. I'm with Matt on the Minor bonnet 'hump', and those pedal look a bit 'slippery'!

Each to their own I suppose, I how ever like the minor lump attachment.
Pedals just feel as normal pedals do when driving, not slippery at all. You forget about them when driving to be honest

that looks a lot better in pics that if someone had described it to me. very el-camino in that its a very 'car-y' pickup, if that makes sense. but i guess that was the idea.
i don't mind the minor bonnet hump, i would have run it back to the top corners of the bonnet though.
i think the only think it wants for is a better tailgate- something slanted forwards with chrome strips up it like on a nomad would really finish it off nicely.

good to see one of these unloved motors getting a major make over and it realy works, some individual detailing there with the exhausts and the front bonnet |
