That looks really good! The rear overhang is the one sour spot in a rangie's looks.

That is unreal craftsman-ship. My Girlfriend thought it was factory.

Have wanted to do that for some time. Where does the fuel tank go?

You reckon ?, i think they are classic lines as they are, just the overhang for offroading causes probs. That would look good as a ute even if you wouldnt get much in the back of it.

If you cover up the top of the picture, only the suspension links show which way is forwards. :armsup:

looks like a neat job from those shots...

I'm like loanrangie though, would much rather a ute with a useless tray over a bobbed full cab :?

u've done a good job of it. very neet
but in my mind i think it looks wrong. i'm a fan of the original rangey shape.

Looks good , well proportioned . Couldn't quite tell from the plates , is it in Qld ? If so did you have any probs getting it legal? Got any photos of the build ? On my "to do " list.

It looks a hell of a lot like an MQ shorty with the canopy off, side-on at least... not that that's a bad thing! I like it.

LOL, that reminds me of a mighty boy i used to see around, it had truck exhaust stacks and big kenworth mudflaps and the tray was checkerplate lined, looked like a mini B&S ute !

Don't chop it! Especially not after doing such a classic job on it so far.
Every second person is doing ute chops. I reckon fully-bobbed wagons are cool, and take heaps more skill to get nice.

Looks good, I've always like the bobtail Rangies :D Keep the pics coming.

Wonder what a 4 door one would look like, probably strange with the door so close to the rear end :shock:

I vote for "don't chop it" as well. Better to get another one and chop that if you really have to.

The only way I'll vote for the chop is if you do it in a way that makes it a removable hard-top convertible.

Of course I realise I don't really get a vote on your decision here :)

I vote dont chop it too. I think it looks great.

The only thing I think it need is a rear bumper. It just doesnt quite look finished at the back.

That yellow ute looks awsome too, great work. I like the yellow, maybe thats what I should do my ute.
