Can you imagine what a piece of sh1te it would be to drive? It would have all of the torsional rigidity of a shortbread tin top. A 200+ 4wd car would be a death trap.

Edited to re-enter the word sh1te!

Talking to my mate over dinner and he loves convertibles but loves Subarus too!
Just wondered if anyone had ever been a%sed to convert one or if one has ever been made or sighted!
Personally I wouldn't bother..............

I think it would make a fast (but mundane) looking car hideous!

wicked! You're right though I reckon it would be a pile of sh%te to drive.
Any other photoshop attempts or more interestingly actual cars?

Cool

no way is that is a photoshop attempt! 10 out of 10 for effort in converting it. loose the rear spolier and it might be ok

yep would be interesting to see how it holds up being put through the paces.
