If there were enough interest, maybe we could get a shop to start doing this convert on older MB's? The wider SD body might work well for the mod?
Oh no. Now you've done it. I've been thinking about what to do with my SD!

Hacking up a car like that can't do good things for its structural integrity. These are Unibodies after all.

So I'm not the only sick-o who thought that a 126 wagon (burning real fuel, of course) would be a really car? ...*gears grinding in head*

The sedan-to-pickup conversion is Australian folk art...

I wonder if anyone down under has created such a "ute"?

(For fun, google "dog in a ute queue"...an annual contest where they try to get as many "utes" with dogs in the bed lined up)
