JamesJDMwagon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 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.

Mark D Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJDMwagon Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 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 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
