how cool!
i'd always imagined an old land rover chassis with 186 conversion a good conversion.
great to see somebody doing it.
PICS!

The photos should be on there way. i have not seen the vehicle myself, my brother took them.
The body is apparently very straight, withe only the firewall being modified.
The owner is paying for a proffessional to do all the work, and it will be a road licenced vehicle.
My brother is a mechanic by trade and said the work quality is extremely high.
(These wheels are only temporary).

Personally I think it's great, a change of style for once.
Better than rotting away in a paddock somewhere or sitting hidden in someone's garage.

Hi guys, here's another great overlander. I saw this at a car show in Darwin about 18 months ago and it took all of 30 minutes to sell for about $500.00. Pity there was only a little bit of work still to be to be done   regards Weddo |

I have some updated photos,if someone is willing to post?
Aparently the van was a total wreck, he tried to sell it for 500 dollars, and no one would touch it.
So he had a bright idea???

Anyone seen the Darwin Ute since that photo was taken.
Looks like Hilux running gear with 16" spilt rim wheels with 7.00 tyres.
I reckon there is enough old vans around to allow at least a couple of them to end up "Overlanders" cant be any worse than giving one a top chop.
Dont get me wrong . I have nothing against top chops... just drawing a comparison and saying that there is room in this world for Fe/fc vans on 4X4 chassis and Fe/Fc van bodies that have been cut , chopped, tubbed or whatever.
I love em all.

The overlander look is way cool I reckon. I've got many friends with 4x4's and I'd love to get away in an FC 4x4 with them.
Definitely a matchbox look FC427.
Cheers
