This is good thinking. I really need another VX shell to pull this off.Originally Posted by VX_PA
Our doors could easily be halved, glass gut, window channel modified, to do some back doors. The roof and floor pan is a no-brainer. The mechanicals just require some part-stretching.
I have fairly decent welding/machining and fabrication skills -but this is WAY beyond my abilities. I'll likely farm this out to a pro.
I figure that even if I spend $12k on the modification (paying to have it done), I'll still be better off than selling a VX, eating the depreciation, and buying a new vehicle (it's going to be a V70 or an XC70 if it's going to be anything).
Plus, the wife will have the coolest soccer-mom vehicle going.
I'm in no way saying that this is GOING to happen -I'm just throwing out thoughts and hoping some good ideas bounce back.
