Nice looking rig, Might be a bit difficult to cut windows in the sides as I assume it is assembled. Chisel might be the only way. The door(s) for the back should not the too hard, maybe you could attach with pin hinges and earth magnets to hold shut. Really nice work.thanks for sharing. :2tsup:

Yes, nice looking rig there Fozzy!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I think you have a bit of thinking to do about those windows and doors. You might have to paint the windows on.

BTW fozzy, how about giving us some dimensions. would like to know a bit more about your hauler.It has the potential to be a really great piece.

First guess- it looks like it is 660mm long-How did I go?

I reckon you would be just about spot on with that guess judging the size of the wheel arches which I estimate to be 50mm and in proportion to its height which would be around 100mm, the length would be just about 660mm. :2tsup:
