well thats one way of putting it some would say fcuking nuts :pancake: :roll:

never did like the look of estates with the back doors welded up etc and 2 door converted but maybe youll suprise me with yours.
Should be interesting? I think the 3 door on the estate woul look awesome, ive never seen one before?

with good reason,why would an estate exist if it didnt have back doors, if u want a 3 door car get a 3 dr hatch or a coupe.

 

U may surprise me too and have it look ace but IMO leave the back doors functional and spend all the money on the engine and body/interior

nice start point and sounds like good plans :thumb:
smart base car mate, keep us informed
Wouldn't it be easier to buy a van? :)

Would like to see t his done propperly, youll need to be very handy at welding id have thought, unless you have deep pockets :pancake:

It will look good but to pull it off properly you will have to change the glass in the rear doors. Loose the black plastic bit or make the rear door glass and rear glass one piece, either way to get it looking right its going to take alot fabricating. Nice idea if its done right :thumb:

I hope your going to move the B pillar back and use 3dr front doors...... :cheers:

ive seen one that was never finished conversion was done properly using the door from a 3dr and pillar too
Like above, I was thinking of the old skool Escorts- Mk3s in particular. The 3 door Estates look great and hopefully you can pull it off with this one too.
