it's real easy to do, just you can't do it.

i'd suggest getting a 240sx first, doing an sr20 swap, then finding out about hatch conversion

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Take a hacksaw to the roof on the back...

[Boost Infested]

use a sawall...... start cutting

Don't be mean he has a valid question...

You would have to search on the net to see if anyone else has tried it...and if not yeah basically cut away and fab up a bed from an exisiting trucks man...

Thanx alot Cyclone, Btw i am a fan of the Cyclone engine, most of these guys don't even know me and are just bsing me. it's cool im glad someone has something positive to say. I'm just looking for some rear wheel drive loven, and i saw that truck conversion in a few japanese drift vids so i figured i'd find out b4 i buy the next 240 i see. I do own a car BTW. THanx for the lack of character most of you doods have. Let me ask y you waste your precious time (and mine) bashing my thread. I was asking for help not for a bunch of haters to reply in my thread. thanx

[illeagle]

[240SEX]

Hey Method, Good Joke! gotta love the comic relief. BTW guys, don't park ur daily drivers on the street, mine just got towed. The DPW guys rolled my car into a driveway because my plate are from out of town. Now imma have to Take a BUS! AHHH. the pay 153 to take my car out.. Geesus

[DeathBy240]

By cutting the back part of the roof off you are gonna destroy its strenght. You will need a roll cage, you'll have to fab a window and do a lot of wleding to make it look decent. A lot of money that could be spent making the car reallllly fast. If you want a car turned into a pick up by the Levin thats for sale for $7k.

[240SEX]

Link me to the Levin I wanna see it. Any way, I'd rather have the roll cage, and trust me, i don't think i'd have to chop much of the roof, i'd just be taken off the hatch and fabricating from there.

[240SEX]

Hey, Deathby240 please link me to the levin hatchback for sale for 7g's???? THanx

[method]

so are you experienced at fabrication? tig/mig/arc welding?

you have a shop to do this all in? all the tools?

if you dont, you'll be paying people thousands and thousands of dollars to do the work.

k-style made the car to demonstrate the ability of their shop, not because it's practical at all. sounds to me (and obviously to other people here) that you're wasting money on some 'jdm trend'

[finboy]

pickup is original, but not practical.

4 door is original, and way more

see sig...
