Ive been trying to find pics of a vl ute conversion. But unfortunately havnt been able to find any besides one that was for sale in new zealand. And it was kind of ugly anyway! So i thought i would photoshop a wagon into a ute, and it ended up looking better than i expected. Even though i havnt done anything to the car except make it a ute, and shave the door handles and petrol door thing. and made the rims a little bigger. It is just a quick rough kinda job, ill probably end up doing more later, and ill probably post it up when im done! this was the original. sorry to the guy that owns this! i stole the pic from a for sale thread he has up atm. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol thanks guys. yeah they have some good and some bad points, IMO they look alright. im gonna play around with it and see if i cant get it lookin' a bit better! ive done a bit more. found some rims that looked ok, made a little graphic to go up the side. extended the front and rear bars down a little bit. and i found this awesome wagon that had clear taillights on it, so i whacked them on. i changed the colour and got rid of the number plate, pretty sure thats about it. i looked at it and thought it was too high, so i dropped it a little bit.

i managed to warp and mould a walkinshaw kit onto it. with a lot of effort, the pictures i got the kit of were the worst quality i have ever used, so it looks a bit funny lol. i reckon this thing would be awesome, if i ever have the money id love to build it!

VL Calais one-tonner... I'm not sure who owns this car, but I think it looks pretty mean. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that tonner really looks like it was released from factory. Whoever made it did a top job. Not real keen of the look of the utes though
