Out with the Angle Grinder.................Maybe

The time has come to make some BIG decisions on Agatha's future!
* Sell her and buy something else?
* Take her off the road and give her some TLC?
* Take her off the road for longer and go to town on her?
She's off the road now, Ive bought a elcheapo commonwhore for a daily...........again!
So I'm thinking extra/king cab chop chop, then GU diffs to widen the track. G/box rebuild, shes crunching down shifting to third. New paint, new chairs etc etc.
Sooooo who's done a body chop like this themselves. Got any links to DIY? Talk me out of it or into it. Oh yeah and if I keep I need to wack a snail on it too

[Ben-e-boy]

Well well well.

GET SOME LONG ARMS!!!!!!!!!!,

Extra cab gets my vote.

[threedogs]

Yo. Growler Write down two lists, one for total rebuild and advantages of an
extra cab chop, all bells and whistles, diffs etc as opposed to a a 4.2 turbo GU wagon,
Chalk & cheese I'm over modified 4x4s, just get in turn key ,,,,,,,,,,,,,where we going

seen heaps done

C'mon G man you can NOT sell her! CHOP IT!

[threedogs]

he's weakening Winnie, thats the power of the GU

[taslucas]

You know that if you sold it and bought a GU, you'd only go for a TD42 and you've already got that so may as well keep it. Now take the money you'd spend buying a TD42 GU and think what the q would be like with that amount spent on it.

Still not a GU.......

[growler2058]

Doing the chop chop I rekon she'll be off the road for up to 2 years. That means all wheeling will be done in wifes Prado mmmmmm.

So I need to do a shipload of reading to work out where to cut it, the ol measure twice (mayb 100times) cut once, there will be no going back after all.

Still in the thinking stage, and haven't told she who must be obeyed there may be another "project" sitting around

[Alitis007]

Best bet is to ask an engineer thats local and does the conversions aswell, coz if you neet ti get the certificate and have followed their instructions, most likely they'll sign off on the job. Google image helps but i have seen a few in my area with ute back window sections.

Why do you want to chop the old girl....... you think a bit of plastic surgery and a boob job are going to make you feel better?????
