camo_78 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 holy shit, hope your gonna beef up ya hinges, full boot with be heavy as fuck yup,going to build some custom hidden hinges so back is smoother than a babys bum.well,except for where ever i decide to mount the number plate(looking like factory location at this stage,but with each side of it filled out to fit flush with rest of the back).theres 2 reasons im doing it.1)im not a fan of the barn style factory doors,and 2)my uncle had a mk1 van for a few years that had a 1 piece door and its been stuck in my mind ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
