looks good Chris, is that a pod filter on top of the snorkel?? I like the way you have left the rear doors on it as the tailgate, something different...........

Post by **beretta** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 9:25 pm

I think its a bloody good job judging by those pics, I like it a lot. Whats a job like that worth for you to do it for a customers car?

Post by **giantracing** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 9:28 pm

the whole job paint torno bars ect about $10000

Looks cool, bloody neat job too
What's the rear glass and seal from or is it custom fit?

Post by **giantracing** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 4:36 am

hows the big B pillar go for blind spots?

With keeping the rear barn doors, and the spare wheel carrier, wont the weight of the wheel be too much for it? As you now only have 1 hinge supporting the tailgate, not 2 like it used to.

saw a very interesting ute in heyfield yesterday, with Krawlers on - 37s by the look.

was all white, with a real stubby arse on it, looks like a shorty cut down, but didnt get much of a look, was tryin to find a pub open...

crushu, the tail gate has the both hindges as per factory.

Post by **chimpboy** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 9:50 pm

Would the cost be basically the same to do a GU?

Well done looks sweet, but can you tell me what those flares you have are? cant see it too well.

Post by **giantracing** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:36 am

no worries. i cut the rear flares off then pumped them out 4 inches . the front are my fibreglass pumped out

What are those tires?

Post by **giantracing** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:09 am

claws

I thought they looked different, looks good. Sounds like a bit of work though. 2nd last nissan I had we cut down to a dual cab, thinking of extra cab for new project, but tray rear instead of body, you done one yet?
with side glass in extra cab im thinking of.

Post by **bru21** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 9:31 am

glas in the sides is harder than you think unless you use a sheet metal firewall - opposed to a ute cab cut (wich i used) there are too many levels and the depth is too great for it to be of any benefit as you cannot see past the pillar into the cavity through the window - over your sholder

Chris has done every configuration possible with Patrols. You'd be supprissed at his prices to compared to other people doing these conversions. Post up the prices again Chris.

Looks very nice Chris. Another top example of your work. Well done.

Post by **giantracing** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 11:05 am

thanks linc. a lot of hard work goes into them. i not like of other places totally finish the conversion. i will do a different price list up soon. prices have changed a little but the end resolt is better.

doing a extra cab next going to put suicide rear doors in like the new f truck. going to look cool........... no seats in the back just storage

I like the pre-runner style bar as well.
Looks like your doing some very neat stuff there.

just 2 of many pics from a great weekend on strady

Post by **fatmanjt** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:36 pm

Yeah they definately look pretty neat, I have seen some seriously bodgy jobs around. I was rapt with the finish of mine, finished all the interior myself how I wanted it, a couple of mates have since done the same. We had them done for less than a quarter of what some conversion places wanted. From your last pricings I saw they seem good value.
Next question we have a shortie which we want to chop, rear quarters are rooted, so dont just want to cut roof off rear. Any ideas how you would fill in back as wheel arch is so far forward.

Post by **ozy1** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 6:42 pm

hey, im choppin a shorty at the moment, and depending on what finish your after, depends on how you go about it,

i went with a flat wall, and just used panel settl and braced it, and welded her up,

or you could get stuck right in, and move the very back section up so you have rounded edges, rear roof gutter, and all that, deopends on how much work your willing to put into it,

Ive been over Cris's ute pretty close in person, and the workmanship is very good. The pumped guards look awesome, and the tray is smick as, i thought the semi false floor was cool, a nice and neat place to store jacks and spares etc .

Cant wait to see the suicide doors

Post by **giantracing** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 5:48 pm
