Admittedly at this current time, I would consider trying to scratch build different front Clips to put on the front of the Volkswagen Rabbit pickup truck. Sort of El Caminoize it a little further
I guess you already know about Japanese businesses turning JDM kei cars into (well,sort of) replicas of some ancient Western cars, or Mitsuoka with its retro-themed models.
