Can any body help me with info on where to go or who to use for the conversion of a wagon into a twin cab ute. Aj6474

I'm not sure you've been vague enough.

do you want a good job for a daily or a rough and ready to just pass a roady for comps and hard play
where are you
what do you want to spend
what doyou want done - extra cab, dual cab, trimming, paint and panel, engineering supplied

a twenty second post is worth f*ck all champ

Well I still want it to be an every day driver and want a professional job not a back yard job would like it to be painted and want it as a duel cab so I can still seat five , I live near Newcastle. It already has a 6 in tough dog lift and will most likely be putting either a big block chev or a ls1 not to sure yet.

If that's the case then make sure you ask to see both completed past works, current works in progress and get it in writing that they will either provide engineering or that the work will be up to engineering standard. I've been bitten in the past by someone that gave all the promises, farked it up then turned nasty when i wouldn't pay (after forking out for a new cab)

I don't know any in NSW specifically although Dave from Blackbull offroad in richmond is anal about what he does, and is a decent chap to deal with too. I don't know what cab cuts he's done though.

good luck

Thanks for the advice I have found one in Harvey bay qld called Wide bay motor bodies there pictures look very impressive just wating for there quote to be emailed for a drive in drive out price

I have found another in qld seems like the place to go, any one else interested in this conversion might like to have look at http://www.creativeconversions.com.au" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they have every thing listed including price witch sounds good to me at $ 10450 including paint.

They do excellent work (they did the job on mine after i had mine botched) but they are VERY expensive compared to some good guys out there. They do a lot of work for mining companies etc who don't mind the price tag so they just charge like a wounded bull. Give Dale Keevers a call on the south side of brisbane. He did my chassis work and is the nicest dude you'll ever meet. He's stopped doing it full time but he might be interested in a one off.

I don't have his number but here is on here as 2DExtreme, and if you google him his website might still be up. Tell him Milo sent ya.

I know 2 80's and a 100 that were done by creative and while they had a good finish on the cab i was not impressed by the tray mounting brackets they used (might have changed since). Both the 80's brackets cracked on corrogations carrying loads, maybe too much but they were meant to carry a camper and or camping gear. Nothing wrong with the 100 but not the same loads carried. One of the blokes had his fixed by a mob in Cairns and it looks like it will never break now and would recommend them though they are a long way away. Good excuse for a holiday!

theres a guy at Cabulture who is on the patrol4x4forum & he does the cut, brased,plated & primed for $1000
then you just need to get it finished IE:- window,painted & internal trim he go's under the name rikstrol.

Would be worth scoping the insuracne side of things for these dual cabs.. Cousins one recently had some issues when selling as major companies who had been insuring decided no to anymore. We call creative who originally did the conversion and they at the time new nothing of it.

The work they had done on the 2002 model car was not perfect. Paint and rust floors along the chop. The price they charge i would want a pefect job not a 90% one. The Alloy tray and tool box mounts were also problematic.
