Default 22b 3 door wagon? yes please!!!

<also posted in projects>

We like things that are different up at the clinic!

So when talking to one of our customers who wanted a little something different for his wagon we told him he could choose from a......


3 door conversion? yes on a wagon!

a 22b bodykit? yes on a wagon!

or a big bhp monster engine?


And bless him he chose all 3!!!


We have seen a few posts on 22b.com where people are discusssing this well here you go folks here it is in the flesh!

We are aware of a similar conversion that was done in sweden but if we remember correctly this was only done by welding up the rear doors and not changing the shell in anyway. This is where we come in, if we are going to do this then it will be done properly with the proper bits and not just welding up doors etc we are talking about removing complete B pillars and rear innner wings/strenghtheners etc and replacing with oe type R. We were very lucky that we had the remenents of a battered type R to use as a donor.


so then what you will need!

1 x impreza wagon
1x impreza type r shell
1x scoobyclinic 22b bodykit
2 x members of staff (so far) and lots of know how!

That looks good.

I never really noticed how similar the dimensions of the wagon and saloon shells are. (assuming that you haven't shortened the 2 door rear window appature?)>

So when are you doing a sort wheel base drag car?
