    That first pic is not a wagon made into a 2 door.

    It's a factory setup from Japan, with rear windows. Basically a panelvan without the panels in the back. I have the exact same setup.

    As for rear end, its pretty shitty. It can be made stiffer by getting leaves reset etc, but not really worth if you want a competitive drift car. I would stay stick with what you already have. Take the rear seats out if you need more room!

    i can be done well or cheaply or easily. all depends on you fab skills an the tools you have.

    from what i saw in my mates setup in his pannel van you need to shift th tank back to get some room for the coilovers an panhard rod. pm matt99 if you're interested

    i used to have completly flipped leafs in mine... didnt work out for the best....
    so now i have changed it all...
    reset leafs as low as they can go and put lowering blocks in with kyb seirra shocks, i havent run with them yet but i think i will need a sway bar.

    going to see how it goes for the time being
