sure why not. Weld the door shut and smooth it over. Done and done.

you would want to put either hatch or crx doors on it so people get get in the back seat.....then get custom windows made or something

might be hard to get into the rear seats...using larger doors would help but then you would have to move back the center door frame (b-piller) which would be a bitch.

Sure it can be done. Just not easy or cheap if you want to do it right. These guys converted a Jetta to a coupe: http://www.1552design.com/gallery/projectx/. And here's the full write up on VW Vortex: http://www.vwvortex.com/featur...shtml

golf and jetta (european bora) has the same wheelbase. crx, hb and sedan afair has different wheelbases. thats why in vw it was bit easier. as a base car i would use a hb body and weld to it rear end of a sedan.

use big doors and put in hatch back seats so they can fold foward easily.

it would look like ***.........even with 5,6,7 gens the 4 doors have different rear ends than their coupe counterparts......

granted it would be something unique........its a waste of money

If i ever had a EX ef four door I'd be hella proud to be rolling in it rather than trying to mod it into a coupe. Kinda retared like moding a EF hb into a flat-bed truck or a CRX into a convertable.

Yeah it does look like a old prelude...also reminds me of a older nissan sentra/stanza
