I have a GS300.
I have a big hairy dog that loves the beach (She's only allowed in the GS when very clean and very dry).
Saturday morning comes and I'm driving dog to beach in company van when I would love to be driving the GS.
Would it be possible to turn a MK2 GS300 into an estate?
I'm thinking of contacting coachbuilders for opinions - If it would look good and cost maybe 2 or 3k I'd go with it, plus I'd have something very unique :-)
And before anyone suggests an RX - I hate the look of the MK1 and can't afford the MK2!
See pic below - (Photoshop dodgey after a few drinks) ;-)

Go for it

That's great.


It looks like a MK1 RX (Only joking)


I think there could be an expensive problem around how they would extend the roof. Also, I imagine there would be issues around removing the horizontal strengthening around the boot and below the rear window. You'd also need to convert the rear seats so they would fold down flat. That's a whole artform in itself. I can't see you doing this for 3k, to be honest.

Posted a reply but don't know where it went
Wouldn't be worried about folding rear seats and wouldn't mind a horizontal support behind rear seats - understand what you mean about the roof, etc. though.
Was hoping could get a crowd to just 'graft' on the relevant part of an estate car and make it fit :-)
Yes - more I think about it it may be my daftest idea yet.
Looks like someone already did it with a MK1 GS [img]http://www.supratech.org/oevents/TokyoAutoSalon/graphics/GS300Station%20Wagon.jpg[/img] bet it cost a lot more than 3k though.....

I can't see it being impossible (they turn LSs into convertibles!) but I can't see it being particularly cheap, an E-class estate may be an easier option......
