    Turning an '83 2 door Wagon into a Utility

    Gooday all,

    Not new to Range Rovers, just this forum.

    I've managed to drop a rather large tree onto the rear end of my Rangie, and have decided to turn it into a utility.

    I've seen a couple around the place, but need to get some ideas of what has been done. Mine needs to look 'right' and not as if someone has simply taken out an angle grinder and went for it.

    Anybody got some clues? Thanks

    LRA does a kit that looks decent. Might be worth checking it out.

    Can you let us know your location so we can let you know about licensing issues

    Seen heaps of these done bad. It's the angle of the doors on the B pillar that can make it hard to look right. Have a good look at it 1st. Building the "H" frame and rear bulk head is not hard. Get the B pillars right or it will look real bad.
    This one is not mine. But is neat.





    I have some pics here of construction of one but on my old PC. Have a search on this site and you'll get some ideas Tony

    B pillar

    Agreed, i put a bit of time getting mine to look right for a fullbody ute and i like the look of RC's trayback B pillars/back window area.
