Just a whole lot more work to add to the list.
Not to mention swapping everything from the wagon to the panel van, doing the bodywork on the pano, take it over the pits, get rego.
Then, strip the wagon, Weld up the rear doors, convert to 2 door, chop the roof, brace, engineer, take it over the pits, rego etc.
When it comes down to it, The panelvan is sitting there, 80% stripped, already 2dr, alreay got a base for a firewall, full length tray etc.
If i convert the wagon to a ute, I'm shooting myself in the foot with having to take 2 cars over the pits, and all the extra work of converting 4doors into 2......
People seem adamant on having the 38 cut up or sold...
