    notchback escort??

    Ive been contemplating a project i want to take on, but id like some insight and possible outcomes of the project first.What i want to do is take a 91-96
    2dr hatchback, either LX or GT, and make it a trunk model.Ive done some basic thinking and what im guessing id have to do is cut the back upper half off of a 4door sedan and massage it into the 2door.Ive never seen this done, or if its even possible, but i want to basically make a notchback escort much like the fox body mustangs had.The only problem i forsee is the back 1/4 windows not working out too well.Anybody seen pics of this or any info would be helpful.

    i thought of something similar to this, only i thought about something similar to the notchback trans am or at least the aftermarket hatch for the 3rd gen fbody.

    *edit
    found the picture


    as you can see its still a hatch, but not the huge one like normal. i was thinking of something similar to that for my escort

        your best bet would be to start with a 4 door sedan and add pillars and doors and whatnot from a 2-door. this has been done successfully (once) on an escort wagon. he had to have custom lexan side windows made.
