VK Ute project

[jaymzw]

Just managed to pick myself up a reletively clean VK Commodore Ute. Obviously started life as a stationwagon it's been welded up quite nicely and looks relatively tidy. I do however want to give it a good panel and paint.
What I want to know is if anyone knows what the tailgate is off? I want to shave that hideous door handle and relocate it internally but want to know what it is in case I need another. I am also considering trying to find some other tail lights as I don't like the stock VK wagon ones.
Any one have any ideas re any of the above or anything else I should consider to tidy it up?

Tailgate just looks like a standard rear tailgate cut in half and the window shoved up behind the seats.

As far as tidying it up, looks a bit ratty from the photo's. Certainly plenty of work to keep you going.

body work looks pretty dodgy to be honest mate...
i think if i sand it back and smooth it out and paint it a decent color it might look ok..

with the tail gate
can u take off the whole assembily and get some sheet metal or whatever and block it off or something and have vk sedan ones with the arnish run across it?

stealthy had a vk ute...or vl, same shit his lookd good
