G'day floss
black would look tough but we decided on a fairly light color
so if we have to fix anything its easy to see(i'm getting old )
Car wont be registed just a high fun low budget toy

Might have to cut it simo but i'll have a crack at straightening it

Meeni the old 4efte in the front will be enough for me (for now)

Clovus

Daves about the same so no probs

Cheers Hallsey

Quick update, got a bit done today

Welded in the back window panel, we decided to weld it in hole and cut out
the window when its in

Dave started on the doors cutting out the inner for weight saving









Cheers Hallsey

Such a big rear panel and no warping!

Looks great guys, keep it up!

Is it just me or dose the rear window section look out of square? (closer at the bottom than the top)

Respect mine and I'll respect yours.

i know the window is angled at the back, could be as well at the front

I know this is going to be a race car, but is a chopped down van made into ute registrable?

yea Gordo

With a mod plate, it's possible

There are plenty of them kicking around

As adam says you can do it, if you get it engineered. You could probably count the number of genuine utes in Australia on one hand, yet there are plenty of cut downs

UPDATE
Back panel is now in ( and straight ,bottom had'nt been welded and was in at the bottom,very keen eye kenomini )



Both doors are off and windscreen is out





We want to try and get the tailgate done this week and cut in the rear window hole

Cheers Hallsey

Awesome!!

Due to a death in the family and other family commitments, i hav'nt touched any of my cars .
In fact until this week the ute's the only one i've touched, basically
because we do it on our half day and we're there

Anyway got a bit done again

we've made the seat brackets and trimmed the rear floor back a bit for extra room





Dave the grinding king hard at it




Yours truly cutting a hole for the fuel lines and battery cable





Also started to put some wiring in







We were missing some bits off the turbo (oil line etc) which we have
scored from James (77clubby) so cheers for that mate

I'm pretty happy with the progress since we only work on it for 2 1/2 hours a week

Cheers Hallsey

Love it when people do the ute conversion properly & adjust the rear not to slope in.

Looks good.. will be impressive!
