January 25, 20178 yr Ok well this is a strange idea but in really not worried about selling my car as some of you may of noticed😂. So my idea 💡 and plan is to weld the rear doors shut and delete the handles making a 2door wagon. Can anyone think of a reason why this is a bad idea? Would the welds crack or stress I know it's been done but how? Im planing to weld the inside and outside when my new arches go in hopefully the next two weeks and pop rivet a alloy door card on keepin the rear windows functional.
January 25, 20178 yr Did you still want people to be able to get into the back? Mot tester probably wouldn't be too happy with doors that can't be opened Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
January 25, 20178 yr Author Well the doors will be totally deleted and the front seats are folding like in a 2door plus the rear seat will be making way fro something else 😉
January 26, 20178 yr seen this done with the 22b kit looks kinda cool personally i would save the hassle and just shave the door handles

Well it would strengthen up the car quite a bit and get the look I want plus the arches are being done at the same time so paint isn't an issue.

Clinic did a shell 10 years ago, owner ran out of money so its sat up there under a sheet as just a painted shell, they moved the pillars, full 22b wide arch kit from the moulds, full welded in cage etc etc I'll try and gets some pics next time i'm up.

Found it! It looks awesome 😀 But not into moving pillars. Just wanted to add some more stiffness to the car it'll look like van but I'm not worried. Want the car more track and less show if that makes sense.
January 26, 20178 yr Track - dont bother it wont add any strength really and if you come against scrutiny they can be tough
