    Hey, I've used the search but couldn't find it. Im just wondering has anyone done a back end conversion from a coupe to a hatch before, If so what are the parts needed besides the lights? Cheers

    Is that only the second half of the shell? I heard one of my friends say maybe you can get the back half of the shell, chop the old back end and somehow meld in the new one from the mechs. Just wondering if this can be done too. If so then I have no other questions to ask

    ^ what he said!! ^

    Yes it could be possible if you REALLY knew what you were doing, but I'm sure it is also very illegal.

    If you really wanted a hatchback, buy a complete shell. Or find someone willing to do a swap.

    personally i dont think you deserve a hachi if you would want to do somthing like that. i guarantee 99% on this site would agree with me. sell what have now and go jump on the fujiwara tofu treuno band wagon. theres no point ruining to ae86 to make one that looks liek the initial d ae86

    my 2 cents

    sorry if its harsh or offensive buts its true

    if u want to do such a sacrelige thing ill quite happy trade u my adm hachi for ure notch back
