i think hes talking about roof chops, alto good pics

[svenmate]

Sorry Huw, yeah after the old tin snip special sedan-to-ute conversion.

[svenmate]

Just found this. Pretty much sums up what i want to do..

[AJPS]

on your blue car or corona?

[svenmate]

Corona. Lol. Such as this..

[ae71]

has happened with wagons and hatch back (sorta comon for 180s nto be changed to ute spec) not so much sedans.

is this a complete half arsed lets get pissed and chop the arse out then jump it or a semi realistic lets actually do it with a little effort thing? not hating just asking?

[svenmate]

Yeah, I know, Aaron. :)
Will be done with effort. Want it to look good and actually drive good.

[haveaparty]

easiest way will be to get tape like the skyline did, get a marker pen and draw out the line and start cutting, then make up plates and weld them over the inner and outter panel to fill the gap in, cut a boot lid up to make the back of the tray, grind the welds and fill with bog. wen doin a ute conversion u cant really plan wat to do as u dont know wat it will look like once its cut, cause theres not just the inner and outta panels, there is all sorts of reonforcments in between the to panels, and u will need to weld in some sort of cage as with the roof gone it will twist slightly,

[MINIHORSE]

A sedan without B and C pillars will lose pretty much all structual rigidity, If I was you.... Make it into some kind of targa top or if it being a utility is a must cut a section out of the roof and move it forward weld the rear doors and move the C pillar to about half way down the rear passenger window line, leaving the back seat area and boot as the tray...........Or go as per picture and looking like Peter Falconio's ute :)

[xsoarerx]

Corona. Lol. Such as this..

HAHAHAHAHA that actually looks awesome.

you need to start with something thats already 2 doors. coupes have longer doors so you dont have to plate behind the front doors to fill them out unless your really short and sit really far fowrd.

[svenmate]

Will have to try and see. :) But yeah, will be welding in a cage from b pillar forward and cutting the rooof behind the b pillar. Will start a build thread soon. Thanks for the help guys. :)

[AJPS]

+1 on start with a coupe

have a gander at this, 31 ute!
would probably be the same steps to turning the corona into a ute.

[Pidgey]

^^ Just about as cool as it gets.

[svenmate]

That r31 is a more realistic example of what i want to do.

As much as i would like to cut just behind B pillar, the seat will not go far back enough.

Will have to dummy it up when we get working.

needs finishing... but it was a bit of fun and might give you an idea of the possibilities...

[svenmate]

Looks good! See how coupes have such a long door? Doesn't leave much room for the ute-ness.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Brumbys have a rather long door/short tray ive noticed aswell, this will be cool :) planning to slide it ?

[svenmate]

Yeah will be tested and tuned in the paddocks and then live on buddyparts track :)

[Jdm-Mcc]

HAHA brilliant!

[haveaparty]

that 31 is how its done lol, looks fuckin awsome

What a waste...

Why do you want ute for drifting?

[RRX-007]

corona ute would be pre cool when finished, and would be heaps different.

[blake.]

going to have to agree with marvis.

Nice!

[svenmate]

Why not? Everyone tries to style their cars the same way. Why? Why not make something different for everyone to hate? I love it... Being a salmon that swims against the current

[marvis]

Because you will lose a lot of rigidity and bracing, will want to twist more etc. and will most likely looks like arse.

[svenmate]

I have a welder and steel so bracing won't be a problem. If i cared about looks I would buy an EG6.

[matt99]

What a waste...

Not really. As I believe the roof and whole back section was rust, no metal left. Big holes the size of your head everywhere. Plus it wont be used for drifting I dont think, Daves too old. HAHA, sorry Dave.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Pfft who cares marvis? Its something different, its built for fun, what more do you want? svens happy with it thats all that matters

[blake.]

bit offtopic but dont all salmon swim against the current?

[squish_m8]

Gonna be goooooood

Its only a ~$350 car so must as well get some fun out of it :D

[JinxD]

*LIKE*
ive wanted to make a ute out of something for ages, id be keen to come up when you do it.

Haters, gon Hate lol !

[svenmate]

As in, salmon swim against current compared to other fish. I wouldn't be the only salmon coz heaps of people do salmon mods.

So yeah. No other pics or links?

[Jdm-Mcc]

[marvis]

Yeah it Looks rank.

You must care about how it looks as you are turning an sedan etc into a ute for no reson, just to be different?

You might be able to pull it off, I have only seen one ok one, the rest look like total shithouse.

[svenmate]

I'm not aiming to meet a particular style. Want it to look good in a different way.

Less weight over rear wheels, able to carry stuff/people on the farm, more options for bracing.

[mack 10]

Fuck your a load of wankers. Chop it up sven. Chop it good.
