Re: Crazy idea! (station wagon rear seat for sedan) 140-160 1970

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter on  Wed Dec 6 13:36 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I am not wholly convinced it is as easy as just taking out the bulkhead underneath the rear window.

Volvo did a fair amount of re-engineering in the wagon at the back, presumably for structural integrity. I reckon you would need some kind of tubular framework to restore strength. Remember the rear shocks feed their load into the inner rear arch.

On a wagon there are box sections under the rear side windows, nothing in a saloon rear wing, and the upright behind the rear doors is more substantial.

Regards
