First the commo, now you say hairdryers are better than cubes - what's the world coming too? Next you'll be selling the tonner to buy a skyline! |

My car should be getting a bit of rust cut out in the coming weeks and i was wondering if i could get them to cut the rear wall cabin of the ute and create a parcel shelf. I have seen heaps of pics of it done and it looks great. Would it be legal if it was done by a professional and with a mod plate? or is it strictly a no go zone as it is a structural support? |

more pics!

Why cut? Is there no way you can find a parcel shelf from a sedan and narrow it (width wise, as in front to back of it) and spot weld it in with original braces so it appears to be a factory thing? I doubt it'd fit at full width but if you narrowed it it might. I could possibly do this for you if you bring me your car and a sedan parcel shelf / braces. |

QUOTE (Anchor @ Jun 23 2011, 10:29 PM) Jordan, how did you go with the vinyl wrapping? Got this far:  Then stopped.  Giving up the idea - makes the car look cheap and kinda not finished, if that makes sense. I know it was always going to be a 'different' look, but I was hoping it will still look kinda nice, but yeah, just doesn't. Think the exotics can pull it off just because they're exotics, haha. Plus, I'm one of those weirdos who actually like polishing their cars so I'd probably miss that. And the fact sitting inside looking over the bonnet it looked so boring, no nice shiney reflections. Sooooooo sold the remaining vinyl and will be going for a nice new shiney paintjob, once I can move the car anyway. |

Rd, at Mt Cotton / Alex Hills area and turned onto Redland Bay Rd. Was quite a tough sounding and looking car. Think it had like Convo Pros or something on it. I thought of yours when i saw it, it was pretty badass. |

Ohhhh. Quite a bit of fab there. I'm sure i've seen guys use the rear roof section of a wagon to do it before. I could do it but i don't feel like taking on a job that size.. and if you want extra cab kind of.. would you have a smaller rear side window? Like a space cab? Or still just have the single door window? |

Going to go a crazy blue I think - kinda like this:  If I were to ever want flat black again, I'd probably just paint it. Vinyl is easy enough to do and cheap, but the finish isn't what I was after. |

Add bench seats, no heater/demister and vinyl floor mats and you've hit it right on the head, and that's my daily driver. |
