That thing looks awesome. The build quality looks extraordinary.
Here is a RWD Volvo pickup I saw in Sweden:

That V70, or PU70, is sweet !
A ridiculous amount of work that looks to be very well executed. But I wouldn't have put the black on the lower sides.

That't true, it doesn't make sense because in the front and the back the original color remains under the trim.

I’m really curious how we fit a north-south V8 and RWD in there.

It looks well done, but I just don't like seeing a wagon cut up. I guess I'll cope and hope it had a tree dropped on the rear end...
I know the swedes do this a lot because it's considered a "tractor" if it only has two seats and a utility purpose.

Interesting ...

Also, if they put an orange triangle in the back it is considered a moped car (or sthg. weird).
It may only go 20 or 25mph, but it doesn't need to pass safety inspections or need to be registered.
So you see kids in dropped Volvos cruising as slow as can be with tons of cars following them. Very annoying if this happens for 20 miles on a narrow road. Ask me how I know ...
