dontpannic Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Unless you wanted it to look totally horrible, it would be so much work - to make it look half decent you'd need to transplant the doors from a coupe which would mean moving the B pillar and all sorts.

davejustdave Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) That was my plan! Doors and b pillars from a coupe or compact, custom glass between the door and the standard rear quarter, maybe an opening on for rear passengers.... i just like 2 door estates! if I'd got any idea how to work photoshop I'd have a go, unfortunately my skills lie more with a grinder and welder!

suhail97 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I'm sure the doors are different too (frameless around the window?), and the A pillar / windscreen is at a different angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davejustdave Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I did wonder about the windscreen angle, I'd spotted the pillar less doors, compacts have frames tho so that might be an option...maybe I need a crashed/knackered compact to chop up...

bennno2005 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Not an E46 but this thread is a similar project. http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=137829 A lot of work. I think you could potentially make an awesome car but would need a lot of work not to look s**t. If you're going to all that effort it would be cool to see some M3 arches on it too - maybe you could end up with something like a larger version of the Z3M coupe.

I have seen similar projects, when I was more into the vw scene there were a few 2 door boras and golf estates about, I've just never seen an e46, I love taking on stupid projects and I've got a spare car! I'm also looking at using the m57 out the 330d in an e34 I've got! if I do the touring it'll definitely be flared! bennno2005 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
