You could change the complete body or maybe weld a roof on. Both would require low volume cert in NZ The mus are an all steel body and there may be differences in the 89 to later bodys you wont know about untill after you have cut up a perfectly good body. Better to buy a later model

The ute body is quite rare in NZ On the other hand most of the utes are 2.6 petrol and all other Mus diesel
