RE: Converting a coupe into fastback
Yes it's possible and has been done before but it's pretty pointless. It costs more than just buying an actual fastback, doesn't have the value of an actual fastback, you risk a lot of structural problems even if you're great at body work, and most can still tell it was a coupe. There's a kit to convert to a convertible (Ronster from MP) and it's pretty ugly but I've never seen one to conver to a fastback.
