The new RX-8 based Mazda SSR-X8.
The MAZDA SSR-X8
Haul ***, haul lumber.......... just not at the same time.
:-P
I was a bit drunk when I made that, but I still think it came out quite good. :-) Though I don't think it would make a good tow rig. :-/

I understand the confusion.
But I have a beater truck just for hauling stuff- stuff too big and dirty for a station wagon or trunk.
The RX-8 has 0 tow rating. So I can't even get a light duty work trailer.
Mazda made a REPU in the 70s, and it was quite popular in the areas where it was available.
Anyways- a two seater rotary engined vehicle with a manual tranny and a work bed would fit my needs to a T. -Make it a three rotor based on the Renesis (instead of the 20B), and I think it would be a fine modern day REPU. ;-) But that could just be the cheap wine talking.

Yeah, if I had two pics of the same car at different angles, I might have tried to post it as 'spy pics'- to see if I could fool anybody. But with one pic, I just wanted to see what this car would look like- and I didn't spend enough timeto really pass it off as real (I see many flaws now that would need attention). The back is actually off of a B4000, and really only the bumper and detail of the curved lid cover meeting the top of the bed are left- everything else I created (you can make things from scratch on a pic edit if you only use colors already in the image)
I did try to fool some people a while back with this one:

I had some people going with that one. :-P
And I use Paint Shop Pro btw (us poor folks that have to actually buy software for personal use can't afford Photoshop).

Ok, then how would you make a better version? just curious.
When you make something from nothing, you are limited to what is available (and your abilitiy).
I actually want such a vehicle to be made- not so much in this exact form, but in this idea. The idea is a sport truck that is a great manual tranny sport driving vehicle that also has a truck bed. I am not sure why this idea seems so foreign to so many, especially since Mazda did this in the 70s.
I'll definitely have to agree that you need a different fascia... Mazdaspeed, or maybe INGS would be better?
