Thread: lara's ride

I think it could be done with a rangie chassis, fender tub, V8 of some description or even a Hemi six, bar work and a very understanding bank manager.

So are you going to put a crew cab 130back on a 2 door 109 Ute, or a 4 door Ute like this 110

Are you looking at a HC 130 full back or Crew Cab back HC

The 110 and 109 have both the front and rear axles in a different position relative to the bodywork, although as you correctly point out the body dimensions are identical, unlike the 88 and 90. A quick check with a tape measure shows that the rear axle on the 110 is about 3.5" further back than on the 109. So swapping tubs raises problems with the wheel cutouts, although otherwise it is a straight swap.

ok ok but should the 110 be 1" further back than the 109 as the 110 is a 110Inch wheel base and the 109 is 109" wheel base. Unlike the 90. The name is the wheel base

The idea is to keep the SIII hardtop front and drivers tub, scrap all bodywork back from here. Replace it with a 130 crew cab tub. There should be a section left over in the middle hopefully enough for a row of rear seats so the car could accomodate 5 persons.

No roof, just a cage, and a custom canvas. It was registered as a ute with canopy so it should be legal, with engineers approval of course.
