i f'en love how they've done this into a ute.
IMO if cuiser wagons are going to be cut into a ute, it needs to be styleside otherwise it just looks alittle out of proportion.

it would be cheaper to swap a whole cab on than do everything to ute it wouldnt it?

great if you want a ute but if you would rather a wagon it will be alot of work $ and time.

then you could sell it to me :cool:

Dunno bout u guys on the big island, but down here in tassie i had to download the application papers from Transport (RTA?) so i could apply in principal, had to include pics of wat i intended to do. they then send papers back to say its been approved in principal.

once u have it done, take it to an engineer and he (hopefully) passes it

in queensland..... talk to a mod plater first. you dont need to do any paperwork before the chop. take lots of pics and do the chop the way your modplater wants it done. then when your finished call him up. hell come have a look at it, pass it or fail it, write you out a piece of paper saying its good and putting the plate under the bonnet.... that is all
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown
