Soon to be, new mini-truck!!

[subi-crosser]

A friend has a 79 Dodge/Plymouth TC3. It has the Audi 4 banger and a stick. New clutch, headgasket and timing belt. He parked it in front of his Mom's house and some PUNKS were driving around throwing BOLDERS out of a truck at parked cars.
Well, The TC3 caught one where the hatch meets the roof. Back of roof caved in, rear glass gone.
Dave didn't have comp, so he's SOL unless they catch the $%^&*ers.
I told him that I can save it. I will be picking it up over the weekend.
I'm going to gut the interior, hack off the roof behind the doors, put in a 'cage', do a sliding rear window and a tailgate. I will then cut the front of the roof and install some pins in the front and latches in the back. The piece of roof that sits just rear of the doors will be attatched and the rear window of the 'cab' will hide the roll bars. A cover will be installed to keep the bed dry.

Finished, it will look like a 'shortened' Rampage. He has NO idea what I'm going to do!! The only paint work will be where the 'mods' are, since the paint is beautiful.

Yea, I COULD just get a roof and hatch and make it just like the 'others', but that's NOT ME!!
