if it happens it will be a long term project (don't know if i'll be able to handle it

) but any ideas or sudjestions as to body mods

don't want to do the roof chop thing no offence but there's plenty already, i'm toying with convertable or a different roof

will be redoing floor from front to back including possably LH/LX rear suspension, or put the whole lot on a (god forgive me) jap chassis hilux etc

Graft a wagon roof (and fins?) onto the back of it to get a proper 2-seater 'delivery' instead of a panelvan or 2-door wagon...

THERE IS EITHER A SWIMMING POOL FILLED WITH BIKINI GIRLS, OR A BARBEQUE IN THE TRAY OF THIS

it is against the rules to paint something like this
and you must cut the sholders

Cool, maybe graft the rear section of a sedan roof onto it? Might have a hack around with photoshop a bit later see if I can do anything.....

Better watch out Rat mines on a Jap chassis

but not Hilux so it aint a mini truck ,Its a FAT ute

What plans are rolling around in your mind at present ?

a couple of the ideas i've had are poping up

convertable ute is right up there, or leave it as it looks but late running gear and very showy engine bay and trim, and the sedan roof thing is there aswell people were playing with that a little while back on here
none of the other ideas are bad so far just not really the direction want to go thanks everyone so far

craig, i wanted so badly to do the resto thing, but the floors are so badly rusted it's just not feaseable

guess i'll just have to cut up another one

I know you want to keep the grey but the power scares you so best go the red
