    very cool.. really digging the "rollbar" in the back.. really not feeling the spoiler though.. overall very clean and awesome looking!

    Not quite as clean as the O2 IMHO, but I think you have to wonder if this (minus the spoiler) is what a production model would have looked like. The concept had no rollbars, no cover, and probably only minor extra gusseting to compensate for the lack of a roof. Isuzu may very well have implemented this roll bar design to make it pass US safety standards and allow for some sort of top.

    Bravo my Russian friend. Bravo.

    That looks like a quality chop job for sure. Proof that it can be done!

    I see no reinforcement to the windshield pillars.

    The rear hoop really should be triangulated forwards or back.

    A top is a WIP.
    Also, the side windows had to be removed.
    I will re-post pictures as they come available )

    Prefer to maintain the structural integrity like on my summer mod. TTop rail adds to windshield support and removable canopy for the rear.



    Regardless, too rare to take a sawzall to.
