metalguy541 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 What changes are you going to make, if you are planning on flipping it? Its becoming a 2dr, narrowed 8.8 rear, brake upgrades, a/c, paint/int. Im actually gonna drive it while i work on it is the plan, use it as a test mule for some modern wiring harness r&d that i may add to the product line up of the things i sell. 2 Quote Link to comment

Keeper sold it to my lhd coupe customer... who lost interest and offered it to me... and since my 2dr is a long ways away from getting shop space.... 8 decided i would take it and play with it 1 Quote Link to comment
TENDRIL Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 that thing is a slut, definitely has had a few trannys in the back and a rear end or two blown out in it ;) 2 Quote Link to comment

metalguy541 Posted August 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 2dr using 2dr sedan doors which are just under 6" longer.... the 4 dr b pillar kinda sux when you have the seat back behind it. And i have another plan in mind that i havent completely committed to just yet that will be way easier to pull off as a 2dr. 1 Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 2door? move the pillers, line it up right? To much work to ruin a good car 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 2door? move the pillers, line it up right? To much work to ruin a good car This dude works magic with metal. It might not be your choice stylistically.. but he will execute it to perfection. It wouldn't be my choice, but the work will be quality. Looking forward to seeing progress. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 This I want to see. I have seen this done to another 4 door wagon but they kept the original front doors and removed the "C" pillar and used sheet metal to fill in where the windows were. It turned out OK but I believe this will be a work of art! Lots of pictures please. Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Dude janksun who was the guy that had theat wagon and put the ka in it has a wagon that some one started into a 2door that im sure hed be willing to give up. This while it may be rough does not deserve to be started into a 2door and never finished as 5wagons ive seen that people have started and lost interest.but if you do PLEASE use proper 2door doors and move the pillar back. Imo it looks so stupid when people use the stock wagon front doors and just weld the rears shut Quote Link to comment
EastBay521 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I finished reading and take back my previous post.. Quote Link to comment
metalguy541 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 It will be similar to the 2dr swap i did on keepers rhd wagon sans the 1pc rear windows..... i have another couple ideas for those... im thinkin some sort of sliding window set up kinda like an old suburban. Im not sure just yet... i want something different than pop out windows. Find my "bunch of projects" thread and there are step by step of the 2dr swap on keepers car 1 Quote Link to comment
