    I was just wondering is it worth doing it or might as well get an AE86 thats already a hatchback.
    Reason is that, I found a great condition AE86 only problem is that its a coupe and i much rather want a hatchback.

    thanks in advance

    Hey mate, you would probly be best buying a hatch that you would prefer, i am faily sure that coupes are not aus delivered, or if so only very few were, so for one thing if you were able to change it to a hatch it would drop its value significantly.

    Also i am not sure how likely you would be able to do the changes nessecary to accomplish this.

    *edited*, i got it the wrong way around.

    I thought he wanted to go hatchback to notchback.

    Still, you'd need a roof clip, and then splice the two cars.... and even then, that's hundreds of man hours in labour, and im still not sure it would work too well.

    Just buy a hatchback / coupe, whichever one you want, you will be alot better off.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
