Tough choice, I like both!
I voted minus.
Which would you have? Minus or Pickup?

Alot of you are saying they are light as a feather when in reality they are not much light than a normal steel shell, because the FG has to be so think to stop it cracking under the strains of everyday road driving!

You have a very good point there Jammy. When Pete and I had ours weighed there was only about 14Kgs in it. and mechanically they're the same except for the bodyshells.

Which I suppose means there is the potential to make a steel shell lighter than a FG one, by way of a FG flipfront, Kevlar roof, CF boot, etc?

Got to be a minus purely due to the lack of rust. I only built the pickup because I had one in the garden. If anyone built a good fibreglass replica of a pickup it would be that.

How hard to choose.
The Minus for the 'No rust, I'm a smug git' feeling.
The Pick-Up for the 'How damn cool am I?' feeling.
Probably the Minus.....maybe.
