coupe and the ute

Neat little Ute, thanks for the update Barnsey!

Barnsey do you have a photo from behind looking into the tailgate/ back of cab?

Steve mentioned that he will be getting some better photos up when he gets home from the show, I will post them up when he updates the pics.
He has also worked out a complete body and panel package price so if anyone is interested in knowing i will post that up too, from what i have read the body sits on a LI LO Chassis in the pics above.
cheers barnsey

I've looked at this a few times now and i'm sorry but it just don't work in my opinion, the proportions are off which kinda makes it look goofy, taller roof would certainly help the proportions.
Sorry !!!

Kinda what I said a ways back. Still think it's out of proportion - but it is interesting

I think if you changed out the way the one piece fender fits under the body it would help alot. It almost looks like one car stacked on another the way it sits on the frame with the fender. I still think it's a cool concept that has lots of potential with just a little tweaking. I think Steve is right that a higher cab height would help correct this, or different fender/frame system. Still I love alot of the utes made for you aussies! I think he's on to something here!

I have been a bit quiet and slack with my postings on my forums over the past months,
so i thought i would give you a couple of updates on this one.

update # 1

At the moment the ute is being reassembled for the last time.It is painted a light cream colour with the guards slightly darker. Has black trimmed running boards and rear cover.The chassis is cream with black on most other parts.It should be complete in the next couple of months all being well.Here are a few pics early in the reassembly stage.Regards Steve.

Pics of the interior


More outside



Its powered by Holden 253 / Trimatic and banjo diff . Has a Rodtech front end and triangulated rear four bar and coilovers. It drives real nice. Just need to get the aircon gassed ready for summer. I can supply bodies/chassis if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking regards Steve.

Looks great, Barnsey! Turned out really nice, came along with from what you started out with!!!!

Your friend, Steve, did a nice job finishing out the first one Barnsey! It should be a good calling card for selling a few more of the Ute bodies, I'd imagine. Very nice.

Thanks for showing us the finished product, Barnsey!

Beautiful and unique.

Jim

Looks awesome. Came along ways from fiberglass to painted! Nice power setup too. Probably gets good milage?

Man it really looks nice! The tonneau cover on there really helps break up the awkwardness IMO. Nice job!

Nicely done!
