Nice idea. Subtle enough not to notice at first. I love that.

Great fab work
Are going to use the rear doors to make the quarter and front door longer?
Or fab them from scratch?

Hii
I think it will be great , I alway´s liked the look of a "Clean" two door Estate when using the longer door from a two door car.
Myself I have built a "Sierra Delivery" with the longer two door´s + "slightly" modified sidepanels from an ordinary "3"door Sierra !
It has a fully seem welded bodyshell with a welded in full Grp.A roll cage ( just in case !
)

Sorry but I don´t know how to upload some pic´s Ds.

Very nice fabrication that can only come with years of experience
As said lines are looking great
will you fabricate the inner skin for the quarter or use part of the rear door's?
