Default Project #turboUte /my Wrx truck

Hello I am Starting a new Project called #TurboUte
I am Converting my 02 WRX Wagon into a Ute/truck.
I know this is not a original idea Cause Mighty car Mods did it but it is just something i wanted to do.
I know there is alot of ppl who might get a lil mad about me cutting up a suby
But this car has really high miles & recently threw a rod bearing so she is currently down anyway.

Here is the First part of my video series

We starting things off by stripping her down.

Here is my video series for the whole build. check it out, like it & subscribe .

I have always wanted to do this myself, recently moved into a new place this year with a big garage so soon enough I will have to start hunting for a wagon.

Are you going to weld the doors any more than what the pictures show? Is there any welding on the inside seam of the doors? What is your plan to maintain rigidity?
