GQ leaf sprung ute to coil wagon chassis conversion
G'day guys I know there is probably threads on this somewhere on here but I'm still learning how to use the forum and my search didn't really help out much. I have a gq ute td42 which is leaf all round and I have a wagon which is obviously coil all around. The wagon chassis is immaculate but the body is rough. (What do you expect when you paid 600 bucks for the whole car I guess.) the wagon has a tb42 petty in it. My plan is to do a clean swap of engines body and drivelines. Therefore turning my ute into a coil cab. Can anyone tell me how this will go with passing a roadworthy etc. obviously I need a blue plate but will I get one without any worries? (Qld) also will the td engine bolt in where the tb engine went without having to change mounts? Is there anything else I should be particularly worried about? I know about the guards off the ute not fitting on the front due to the shock tower so I will be using the wagon ones. And I know I will need to modify the rear body mounts to suit the tray. Any help will be greatly appreciated because I want to get it done with as little drama as possible. Thank you
