Hi,

This is my new MOC which I have been mostly working behind the scenes on (and waiting for BrickLink orders) and it is finally finished! I am not sure what to call it let me know if you have ideas.

Hope you like it! Video coming soon.

I like it, especially the front and back ends. Nice use of the mudguards on the back. I think that is looks like a UTE,

or maybe more like a Subaru Brat.

The #3 connectors on the front make it look like an old Jeep Wagoneer.

I know how you feel, because I'm making something and I don't really know what it is.

It has similarities with Subaru Brat...hm...perhaps you can call it Spoiled Brat pickup

[TechnicRCRacer]

Thanks! I don't know if it has many similarities between them, her is a pic of what inspired me to make it:

I see, but please don't call it MR2 pickup because our French friends on this forum would not be amused with word that sounds similar to name of this Toyota model...Trust me merde which sounds similar to French spelling of MR2 is not desired as Topics title

I could not format streikthrougt for word merde...great smatphone...

[TechnicRCRacer]

@I_IgorI'm not calling it that, don't worry!

[shadow_elenter]

call it what AW11?

It certainly looks like a Mazda to me - if you swapped out the large curved panels either side of the rear section and maybe put in something like long and thin fairing panels instead, to give it a bit of tapering? Anyway I like the aesthetic, very 1980's but in a good way

Thanks! Which panels would you recommend?

[mocbuild101]

What about: sports pick-up truck? I like the black too!

[TechnicRCRacer]

Umm, it was never meant to be a pickup truck, but by seeing all of the reactions, I can see some similarities. I stil don't want it to be a pickup.

I still don't want it to be a pickup.

You should fill the back of it up with panels then, because that's what makes it look like a pick-up.

@Paknaloid I will fix the back. Thanks!

[Paknaloid]

I just realised what it looks like the most - Triumph TR7!

[TechnicRCRacer]

Cool! I could redo the back and make it look like that! This is (basically) my first car "based on" a real car!

I agree, it looks almost exactly like it!

[TechnicRCRacer]

Working on back, pics soon! I liked the old back far better as the back of this car is much harder to build and secure, but I will try.

[TechnicRCRacer]

I have decided not to make it a Triumph TR7 when I tried to make the back. I decided to keep the old rear and modify it to have a rear wing. The doors have also been changed to look more realistic. I have some epic plans for the pics and video! (I hope it works out)

I had one of these, it was brown. I didn't have it long!

[TechnicRCRacer]

Here's the plan:

I am filming the video at night with tripod, lights, and a FOG MACHINE! This will be so much fun! If it works, pics will be done by tomorrow.

I have done it! Here is a sneak peek:

[Paknaloid]

@TechnicRCRacer that looks incredible!!!  Do you have PF headlights fitted?  Also the rear wing makes the rear end look much much better.

[TechnicRCRacer]

@PaknaloidNo, I do not have PF lights yet. Thanks!
