Oddball junkyard find
« on: December 10, 2018, 04:38:19 pm »








Came across this over at a Calgary scrapyard. Oddball. I can't quite recall what it is. It is on the tip of my brain but I can't quite recall. Anyone remember? Had a Toyota motor.

I have no clue, but to me it seems like it has hints of Nissan/Renault.

Google search by image didn't reveal anything.

You should just buy the whole thing and fix it up.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Fobroader wins with the closest guess, since Toyota owns Daihatsu.

Thank you! Apparently WiLL was a stand alone brand. Can't be too many in Canada.

It had an Toyota Echo looking engine under the hood and apparently related to the Vitz Hatch.

The WiLL concept went beyond cars.

There were two other Toyota WiLL products.

1.3L 2NZ-FE engine, but the 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine from the Echo would likely bolt in.

Looks more like a Toyota Won't at the moment.

It is very cool but pretty tough to fix that front end collision decently for a reasonable price.
