the rear wings are self tapper'd to the bodyshell along the horizontal, rivetted to the shell at the front vertical - theres a fair dollop of panel sealant in there too, you will have to drill out the rivets that hold the rear quarter pods to the shell (open the lower tailgate and you will see them) as the pods and rear wings are bolted together, it takes about 10 mins a side on 2 door.

I'll have a pretty crappy website put together before the end of the weekend with pigs build on it and you can see from there if it helps?

Are you doing the full bobtail (shortening the body ) or just making it a ute ?

im just doin a ute conversion myself on a 81 2 door. thought i was just gonna take off the rear and attach a new tray... HA. at the moment it is totally stripped down. i found so much rust in the sills and the floor. then along came an unlicensed rangie with a 302 windsor conversion. so i had to drop that engine into my ute! soon for paint and engineering! yay. i have a few pics but i have to add a few more yet.
