Dan Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 If you wanted to make one, you should probably start off with a wagon. Most factory utes (ie. Commodore ute, Falcon ute) have started off as wagons then got chopped up to achieve what they want. This means that you are going to have to do a shitload of bracing to keep the structural integrity of the car to a standard, not to mention getting the bastard of a thing to pass roadworthy etc.... Easier would to be make a one tonner style thing, mounted some chassis of another smaller car, ie sierra or something.. but in reality its a headf@$k and alot of work.. If you want to do it though, go for it! Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltwin Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 a flat tray would be unreal man, i reckon a KE55 job would look great such an angry looking car from the front!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corolla_bitten Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 if you were serious about doing this the easiest would be a panel van, i have senn about a dozen gemini panel vans turned in to utes, a couple made hot 4s magazines. but if i saw you cut a corolla panel van up that was in good condition i would cut your balls off. :jamie: Just trying to find a good one thats all.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 My uncle made a torana ute,the approval alone was over $1500, and the test is VERY demanding of chasis strength. They tie # corners of your car down, then jack one up to a certain pressure, then measure flex! :hammer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I really liked the look of this when I cut it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
