Attention Chuck and Sean:
OMG! . . . All it needs is stabilizer fins . . .
Chuck and Sean, I recently saw your 50 required toolmonger skills . . . you guys could build on of these yourself . . . I suggest the RX-7 motor though . . .

The Toolmonger in me thinks: Wow, it’s gonna be a bitch to get spring rates right with motorcycle coil-overs in front and swing-axle VW suspension in the rear. And stick with the VW engine 'cause it’s gonna understeer like a pig and you’ll never be able to deal with more power anyway. And I’d avoid driving in the rain – that canopy seal looks a bit dodgy.
The GWCer in me thinks: A little creative paint work and that’d kick the crap out of that eco-box the guy turned into an “X-Wing.”
a modified-jeepney comes to mind… 
Now I want a Viper bed. Like a racecar bed, but, you know… BETTER.
The car is a pretty neat idea.
Bwahahahahaha!!!
I served a Mormon Mission in the Philippines and rode on those Jeepneys all the time.
I can see it now . . . Battlestar Galactica: Powered by Sarao Motors . . . .
Actually, its not hard to imagine. With a couple of extra panels, a Jeepney could look a lot like a BSG Raptor . . .
I’m not into car modifications or cars in general really (but i do try and to all my own work on my cars) but i think it would be fairly easy to transform a Minivan into a Raptor
