i say go for it, i'll be joining you very soon hopefully. i was advised not to chop one, and to buy a ute that was already done. seems like a good idea, but to expensive for me so im gonna have to do it myself. its pretty much each to their own, some people like it, some dont.


Yeah me too.

Found a couple of rusty vans that are unfortunately economically unviable to restore as vans.

Ute here we come!

What about a van chopped into a convertible ute/estate :D go low an wide like an old cadillac or something 8) or make a sedan into a ute by moving the rear window forwards and using the C pillars as the B's if that makes sense :wink:

I say dont do it, however another chopped van will make mine all the rarer.

I agree with that 110%

However, when you come across a rusty van (or two in this case), and they are to far gone on the roof to restore, then a logical option is to turn them into utes (actually one ute, as I think I will have to combine both shells to get one good unit).

Man I love the vans, and the woodies even more - but utes are uber cool!!
