Very nice Merc W124 Pick-Up

[TurboDieselWeasel]

Hi!

Found this here: www.mercedes-fans.de/autoderwoche/autoderwoche_artikel/id=2044/start=0

It started live as a 230 estate. Reinforced chassis, bit of chopping, a Polo rear screen - and hey presto, we have a nice W124 pick-up. Powered by a 3.0 straight six (lovely engine!).

It's realy not the first Pick-Up conversion, but I think it's a very well executed example.

Cheers,

That looks like some seriously good fabrication work, and a neat conversion. I like the flow of the bodyline from top of the wing right along to the rear of the bed.

Personally I think removing the rear roofline and glass makes the 'cab' look a bit tall and reckon the proportions would work a lot better if it got a 2" roofchop to compensate.

It would probably look better in the flesh, but from the photos I reckon that little bit off the roofline would work wonders for the overall aesthetics.

might have looked better with the rear window brought forwards and used on the back of the cab, thats how we did one of my Cortinas and the roof line didnt look so tall, bit like the El caminos.

That's very well done! I like it.

Something like this...?
