yeah mate, I just don't know what you could really do or even the legalities of trying to cut the side of a car out and re-fabricating the whole thing and re-engineering side intrusion bars (as an example) and things like that....... Not to mention it would cost 40 times what the car is worth... which is fine if you are just trying to offload drug money.

it can be done, but for the money spent you could build one hell of a gc8 coupe.

Do it.

Don't listen to any of these gronks above.

Just use filler to seal up the rear doors, and delete the rear handles.

Paint over the rest.

I plan to turn my wagon into a panno this way.

Make sure you guys add lots of LED's when you do these mods so it accentuates the workmanship of your builds. The more LED's you add, the more "OOOOOOH'S" and "AHHHH'S" you'll get from passers-by.

Hi,

Before this turns into a massive troll-a-thon, I think OP should consider the serious responses in this thread. If you want to turn a GC8 into a coupe, you can definitely afford a GC8 2 door. Not trying to say you can't afford it.

Cheers,
Nik
