Of course you didn't...
Also, I may have messaged the seller about if the bed is capable of hauling mulch. He responded, I don't see why not. I asked if he sold mulch. He said no. I asked if he'd sell the car for $2000, and a bed full of bagged mulch for $2100, he said that'd probably work, but was confused.
I hate that much less than I thought I would.
My psyche hurts.
Yeah that's awesome.
I mean, the good news is it was an automatic LS so nothing really wasted there.

It's not an automatic, just the default FB marketplace nonsense striking again. Also B18C3 swapped
I like that although it's so small that you can't get a lot in the bed. A bigger car would have made more sense... as much as this can make sense. Seems cool overall.

That's not allowed like 6 different ways in the current Challenge rules....
I've nearly bought much worse vehicles than that.
In reply to Tom Suddard :
I'm still quite tempted for non challenge reasons. HPDE with wheels, tires and Jack in the bed. Works for me.
Pretty cool. Good color, too.

I'd at least put a roll bar in it to make up for the loss of roof structure. Could do some bitchin KC lights on it too :)

I like where this is going

If that was type r spec, it would be my favorite Honda ever.
Championship white with some bronze ce28ns in like a 16x8, i'm feelin this. B18c5, chassis all reinforced so its rigid a/f. Mmmmmm. 
pickup.
It must be somewhat local to me, that isn't the first time I've seen that green intregra pickup for sale.
If the bulkhead behind the driver compartment is well thought out and welded, it might be a really stiff car as is. There isn't a whole lot of roof structure behind the driver's head in one of those anyway, it's all opening hatch.
I wonder what it weighs too. That hatch, glass, etc. are not light.
I'd like to see pics of the bed area. Curious how that is finished out. Also curios what it takes to do this to other small FWD cars lol.

Anything you'd like to know about doing this to a Saab 9-3 just ask!
Also, don't get me started looking up Smyth kits again.

I'm assuming you did that to a challenge car? Build thread? Final pics?
In reply to ProDarwin :
Here is was before challenge 2017 where a fuel pump ground sadly sidelined us:
Here it is before challenge 2018 where it got 16th? overall and also towed the parking lot build MR2 from the hotel to the racetrack and around one autox.
And finally, here it is after I sold it at the challenge. This guy took it to texas and rallyx'd it (is this 4 wheels off!?!):
I think it has since been sold one more time and is still in texas. Newest build thread I know of is here:

I pm'd the integra guy for more info, haven't heard back. So much for my type r pickup project. :-/
In reply to Carbon (Forum Supporter) :
That sucks, I think it is a heck of an idea. I want another "shop truck" now that the Saab is gone. But I find it really really hard to argue against an LS swapped S10 if you want a "sport" shop truck.

I'm not doubting you, but could you highlight them?
Seems like an awful lot of people have been doing things exactly like that...
