coupe to hatch conversion?

[shortyman4065]

Hey guys I was wondering, this may sound completely stupid, and extremely noobish, but is it possible to turn a coupe rearend into a hatch? if its possible, lmk what i need. I need to figure this out because there a coupe shell thats rust free, but i have a hatch that is rusted on the rockers/framerails, etc. and i dont really like coupes, so i want to convert it into a hacth, so i can have a rust-free hatch. LMK if this is possible, Thanks guys.

And if this is completely rediculous, try not to be a dick or smart ass and say how stupid it is, I'm just trying to figure out if its possible. Thanks again,

-Jake

[Otto347]

x2...............

[ATLspeed]

not possible.....

[yokotavia]

sell me the coupe and buy a hatch.

[nissans13]

just buy a hatch

[S14_Kouki]

Shit man anything is possible with the right amount of money.

[Matej]

It should not be hard to find someone willing to trade you.

[ranger240]

if youre asking this question.. well why bother.. you obviously dont have the expertise necessary to complete a conversion..

if avoiding rust replacement is your justification for asking this question you obviously dont have the means to take on such a task



old mustangs are sometimes hacked up from coupes to fastbacks.. but dont try it on a 240...

[bl3ujay07]

LMAO....fail thread

[Slammed Assassin]

dude your gonna end up spending loads of money.. just sell your coupe and find a hatch.

[z2roll4life7]

alright dude it was just a question to see if its possible, and i honestly dont care if im not an "expert" on a 240 project, like i said if your gonna say something about how stupid this thread is or why im asking it, dont bother to post, i was just wondering if theyre the same lengths of the rearend, meaning would the back hatch glass/trunk repleace/match-up where the coupe trunk ends. i can do the welding, but i dont have the car with me as of right now so i cant really do any measurements, so i was just wondering if anyone had done this b4 and knows if its possible. And actually the real reason why im doing this is because a guy is willing to buy my coupe, but he wants a hatch, so i was going to see if i could swap the parts from his hatch to this non rusted coupe, because up here in chicago the rockers and frame rails are complete shit do to rust. so thats why i asked...thanks guys

/superbad

[Z33dori]

no sorry i cant do any trades, i can only do cash...i need around 800 bucks for me to have another shell shipped here, which is a hatch, i already have an sr engine ready to be put in, but i need the money to pay the shippers to get it down here. otherwise i would do a trade for sure, but just need cash for right now, sorry

[zenki.life]

wow. stupid i think is really contagious this week it seems. i hope to get vaccinated within the next couple of days

[!Zar!]

This has nothing to do with being a 240 expert or not...

you think investing money and effort in making a coupe into a hatch, even a free coupe, might possibly be worth it

take a fuckin look at a coupe and a hatchback and its obvious what it would take

hell

just THINKING

hrm
what is a coupe

what is a hatchback

and realizing they are not the same
shoulda been enough

who's the pullout failure?

convert yourself to someone with common sense

^^^Lol...week is almost over, dont sweat it.

LMAO "convert yourself to someone with common sense"!!

[OptionZero]

dude

ur right

i'm rude

i shoulda really taken more time to read your post

ok

i'm done

ur still a dumbass

but maybe i'm missing something

post more about yourself, show us the real you so we can appreciate you for the unique and beautiful snowflake you are

or just laugh at how you're still a dumbass

[genericforumname]

haha holy shit, I love this place sometimes. and if you have both cars why not just take the measurements? its not that important to have the car right away or you would just buy a new shell

p.s. I did read your post, though I almost stopped after you said "I don't like coupes" right there I knew this was going to turn out bad...people with bad taste are the reason my neighbor has fake r32 taillights on his busted ass single cam coupe.

its all about opinion, and i dont have either shell with me at the moment, the coupes at my aunts house, and the hatch is going to be shipped to my house, which is why i need the money, for the shipping. A guy from CL asked me if there was a way to convert the rust free coupe shell, into a hatch, and i wasnt able to take the measurement or do anything to figure it out soi decided to ask some zilvians, but apparently its not able to be done and im a complete dumbass for trying to get my car sold...the guy doesn like coupes either, which is why he was going to let me take the parts off his hatch, and put them onto the rust-free coupe shell, since his is big time rusted. thanks

[soreballz]

There's a reason why people with first gen Mustangs do fastback conversions... Fastbacks are fairly rare. Coupes are plentiful.

S13s, on the other hand... Coupes are less common than liftbacks. And really, there's no fucking point. Can it be done? Probably. Are you retarded for wanting to do something so completely pointless when you can just trade the clean coupe for a clean hatch? Yes.

Dude.

Comma's aren't replacements for periods.

[SexPanda]

This thread has seriously gone on for this long? SERIOUSLY? Might as well throw in my 2 cents.

ITS FUCKING POINTLESS.

Coupes are relatively hard to find, hatches are everywhere. Go out, get a hatch shell for a few hundred bucks, save thousands on custom work.

Done and done.

It's like trying to convert two nickels into a dime.

i was wondering if i can take my dog and change the front half too a cat. i dont really know if i will be good at it. but i do have power tools

[biggbadd240sx]

[kalypso123]

wow ok guys i get it like i said before its cause the guy was wondering if its possible...for fucks sake

[Phlip]

40 posts in this pointlessness and no one reported the thread?
Stupid idea, and anyone caught engaging him in this stupid idea deserves to have their intelligence questioned.

Step 1 - sell coupe, they generally go for more than fastbacks anyway.

Step 2 - buy fastback. Using the above mentioned knowledge, you may have money left over to buy "stuff" for it.

If that does not make sense to you, please get off of the computer and back on the short bus, Simple Jack.
