MK SAFARI WAGON TO 4 DOOR UTE?

Often seen SWBs converted to a ute, wondering if anyone has/had thought/done it to a LWB wagon, changing it to a 4 door flat deck ute?
Just toying with the thought but would be a thing in the FAR future. Have mechanical things to play with first and will be getting those things squared away with first.

You should have got Taz to do it before he droped it off.
It would have taken him about 10 mins....

Nice one Taz-however DO like how Sadam has fixed it up, dunno bout your "mud" tyres though
Not thinking of going hard core like the comp utes (tis a LWB Whale), just thinking of doing something different, saw this link
http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor. ... E600199082 and liked the basic look of it. Just seeing if anyone had tried to do it.

EXACTLY what I thinking off, shouldn't be to hard, 5min with Taz and his grinder, few hundred man-hours to fix it up after he's finished
More seriously though, how hard would it be to do something like that and have it legal?
Looks pretty simple to do, though think it may be a bit more complicated as have a high-roof..could just use Taz for another 2mins to fix it

Actually charo249 has hit the nail on the head with the link he's put added.
Do appreciate the feed back as didn't expect people to actually search the net and supply ideas, had done it myself and only came up with the Hummer. Thought it would be more of a
Why?
yes
or a no

), thanks guys, will find out more info from him and will post it for others
