Nope, that be a Daihatsu 360/550 cab chassis ute I think.

They're pretty well the same as the carry aren't they?

Posted: **Sun Feb 12, 2006 2:57 pm**

Basically the same thing made by a different manufacturer.

Probably went the way of the dodo, dinosaur, and most other automotive projects!

I'll pre-empt Colin's response and tell you that it ain't gonna happen:

I was also reading some laws that state a vehicle converted from FWD to RWD must be engineered as a hand-crafted vehicle, and not just a modified vehicle.

That would make things nice and tricky!

there is a bloke i met a while ago who told me he has a 12a in a MB i am still waiting to see proof

Anything's possible if your cool with never being able to drive it on the road...

The majority of us, on the other hand, are very interested in the cars being streetable, hence the rotary and 4-cylinder skepticism...

i went and started doing some research on engines to put in. i ended up decidin on a cb70 turbo or a k10a turbo - they both have around the same power

Go the CB70 if you're not a Suzuki purist.

I dare say it'd be a damn sight easier and cheaper to get parts for. Not to mention there being a world of aftermarket goodies to suit it...
