This one was rescued from the Shelf of Doom with only minor work needed to complete it. The project started in January 2017.
A pair of Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon 4WD Super Exceed kits were combined to make a single 8X8 transporter. Originally this was going to serve for the Honda S800 racer, but the shade of yellow is slightly off, so the Honda N360 hot rod is the new payload.
Earlier build photos show some of the steps taken. The first step was planning, using photos overlaid in a graphics program.
Hack and slash activities started the construction process.
Measure once, cut twice. Interiors and chassis had to be hacked as well.
Mid-engine layout.
In retrospect the seating should be 2+3, not 3+2. The rear is particularly spacious.
Fred and Doris are enjoying the spacious rear section, but Gerhard can't quite get his legs under the steering wheel. Stiff joints due to arthritis, no doubt.
So what's next? Stay tuned!
