IT'S BEEN DONE! look inside - Focaljet

**Davor** · 06-18-2006, 10:40 PM

All I can say is WOW! This Focus has some great potential, but I am not sure if the owner is about to finish like most of us envision [get Kristina to sketch some cool cab concepts]. Seems he did a reasonable job of blending in rear doors and cab windscreen. Now that the hard part is done all he needs is little more cross bracing in the back. Wish I met this guy in person, he needs some influence to make this baby decent. What are your thoughts? [btw I did not take these pictures, found them in local forum].

All it needs is a tailgate.

**Ducman69** · 06-18-2006, 11:08 PM

No less cool than an El Camino....

**Spatakula** · 06-18-2006, 11:13 PM

wtf?!?!?! haha it actually looks kinda cool. i like how the stock back glass and wiper af used again. needs a tailgate and a color matched fiberglass tono cover. oh yeah a drop and tint (per the usual comment)

Sheesh, just get a ranger tail gate and go to town! I'd also work on making a nice watertight false floor. Good luck

**turbo2000** · 06-18-2006, 11:31 PM

now it needs all the above and a v8 conversion and its set to go

**netdragoon** · 06-18-2006, 11:34 PM

There are little Ford trucks kinda like that all over in Mexico...they also have the newer Fiesta...damn them.

**OmniFocus** · 06-18-2006, 11:36 PM

Neat I say.

**S. on Da 5** · 06-19-2006, 12:11 AM

I dig it too!

All it needs is a bed liner, a tail gate and a bed cover.

**Smoe** · 06-19-2006, 01:41 AM

until it folds in half like a taco <--haha the irony

**MachFive** · 06-19-2006, 02:30 AM

Wow, i don't know what to say. I'm kind of pleasantly shocked...in an uncomfortable way. I need a confused smiley.

Is that the wagon rear glass? Impressive.

**Davor** · 06-19-2006, 03:32 AM

I always liked this 3 year old concept from Mazdaspeed Elite for SEMA. Since then I was wondering if someone would take Focus chassis along similar route and then I stumbled upon this Focus. I hope that this chopped up wagon is still under construction and ends looking decent, I'd hit it.

**Red_ZX3_Baron** · 06-19-2006, 04:00 AM

Its 04:59am and I am Having a Nightmare of a Focus Pickup Truck and I'm posting about this. If I wake up later and see this post then I know it is real and a WTF moment.

**boostedzx3** · 06-19-2006, 06:35 AM

Bag it and you have a sport truck or....something similar.

**BLUE_02_ZX3** · 06-19-2006, 07:35 AM

just don't roll it over!

**hotrodkris** · 06-19-2006, 07:50 AM

It needs that little extra 'window' like John did with his 'Transporter'. But otherwise it's nice.

Here's an old sketch of that thing...

**darkpuppet** · 06-19-2006, 10:27 AM

sorry, I'm not feelin' the love... the cab ends right at the b-pillar.. boo! and wedging the rear hatch glass/frame from the wagon to fill the space is a poor decision.

5/10 for design
7/10 for fab

**SaTaNcLaUz** · 06-19-2006, 10:42 AM

very good photoshop

i'd still rock one if i didnt have to haul the kids around

**Pak** · 06-19-2006, 10:47 AM

Am I the only one that thinks it looks hideous? Besides darkpuppet of course.

Is that a serious question? Of course you're not, there are certainly plenty of other people that feel the same way.

I don't even find it attractive, but I do find it cool otherwise. The amount of utility I'd get from such a vehicle is pretty significant... and I can admire the guy's ability to see the project through. I don't apply that to all projects, of course, but this one I give an exception to.

**Penguini66** · 06-19-2006, 10:58 AM

That would certainly be more fun to drive around the golf course than a crappy old golf cart.

Personally, I admire the work but dislike the rear window. Overall

**2focusd** · 06-19-2006, 11:52 AM

Not my cup of tea, but very cool idea nonetheless
