The Light Utility Challenge *DEAD*

It's 1982 and your new East Asian factory is being set up. You are almost done when you realize you need some vehicle to transport parts around your factory. Looking around you can not find any and you might have found a new market! You quickly need to get a vehicle so you can start making hatchbacks even cheaper! Do you think you can do it before 1983?

Rules:
No mods except for ascetics mods (Lights, Handles, etc., anything in Design)
No Limited Production Parts (Forge works or CNC parts count too)

The Winner of each of these catagories gets 1 Point, The person with the most Points wins!
Fastest Track Time on the Automation Track

By this, do you mean we can use some mods? I'd only be using stuff from the High Quality Essentials pack, and wouldn't use any of the bodies that come with that pack.

Excellent. I'll do my best to stick to vanilla fixtures to save you the hassle.

Re: The Light Utility Challenge

FYI if anyone wants a little different of a car there are 2 eligible mini truck bodies and 1 eligible van body. (That's why the year is 1982 so the jeep-like one is eligible too!)

**NOTE: this is NOT the vehicle I am entering the contest with. This was an exercise to see if a larger ute body could meet all of the design requirements of the competition. And it did, pretty easily too.

Re: The Light Utility Challenge *Accepting*

The 1982 H.A. 55 P is the perfect utility vehicle for you... if your budget is below $7000. It has 4 wheels, 2 seats, seatbelts, headlights and tail lights, side windows that open and close, and not much more! It runs on a tiny inline 4 that can eventually reach highway speeds. Get yours today! Guaranteed to rust away so you'll have a reason to get a new car in a few years!

I guess toe only problem with that is it fits the requirements but it is not practical and probably not compete well but would certainly win most cargo space ;)

I have an unusual love for the 1983 Toyota Tercel 4wd wagon. I agree that everyone here seems to have quirky tastes in cars :lol:
