Spotted in California

Post by Gasoline Fumes »

My friend (and Hornbeam's owner) is currently in California on a work-related trip and spotted a Tercel Wagon pickup conversion.

Pretty neat and professional !
It would be interesting to see the pix/hear the story of the conversion.
While it never rains in Southern CA, I'd like to see how drainage was accomplished.
I'll bet it would be warm i/s with the reduced cab volume (I'm thinking this as it is cold in STL-not MN or CO cold, mind...).

Looks pretty well done to me....almost like it came out of the factory that way. Suburu Justy?

First thing I thought was....drainage.

Bet it lost a lot of weight....all that glass and metal....

Justy? Do you mean Brat or Baja? The Justy was just a normal hatchback.

Water always finds a way out. :D
