    Series 3 Ute conversion

    Ok people, I have been toying with the idea of turning Yellow Pezza into a ute. I am even more keen after reading SCLARKS ute conversion on his Fender Gromet. So the question is How difficult is it to obtain a series 3 ute rear cab and roof?
    Dose anyone also have any tips about doing such a conversion?

    I am just doing a bit of research before i get too fixed on the idea of having a ute!

    Thank you
    Paul

    Pretty easy to do but the rear cabin can restrict how far back you can move the seats. Depends what seats you have and how big you are.

    G'day Paulthepilot_5

    It would be easy to convert yours as it is already a 2 door, you just need to get a complete truck (ute) cab and backpanel, it may be worth a PM to rob Hay as he has an Ex-army workshop truck that has a cab on it and he might want to part with it in the near future as I think he will be returning to a soft top. If not try Andersons at Pialba.

    cheers

    Jbarracl: I don't think it will be too much of a problem with the seats, i am only a skinny bugger. The seats are aftermarket bucket style seats, there is a fair bit of room between the rear bulkhead and the seats at the moment!

    Wazza: I have always wanted a ute, and i think it would be a lot more practical for me rather than a hard top, Will also be a bit lighter, and better for off road work, and look cool. In the end it all comes down to personal taste i guess. I am still trying to decide if it will be worth the bother!

    Paul.

    Cool, I will do some more research into the matter, Particularly to see what is involved in getting the rego changed. I'll PM you at a later date if i decide to go ahead with it.

    Thanks

    Thanks for that Uncle. I have Defender doors on the landy, would they mate up with the series ute cab properly?
