I currently have a rear half of a classic sitting in my garage (from the back of the driver seat to the rear), however I need to make some space. Do I:

1. Convert it into a trailer.
2. Cut into useful repair panels

If option (1) has been done I'd love to see photos. Also would like opinions how's the best way to disect the rear if I choose option (2).

Is it a saloon or wagon? I'd have thought the wagon back half would be more useful as a trailer - with a saloon you'd have to chop off the roof or it would just get in the way (even worse if it has the rear bulkhead like the RB5 etc.)

Arguably the "best" way to unstitch the panels is to remove the spot welds with a spot-weld cutter - but by God it would take some time!

Unfortunately its a saloon. Yeah I guess the roof would have to come off, to make it a longbed pickup. If I was going to remove the panels by drilling a small hole into the welds and chisel them off.

I would say salvaging the rear quarters isnt really worth the effort, but the glass, boot lid, trim, fuel tank etc. are worth keeping

As for a trailer.. nahhh.. how about a Trike? now THAT would be cool

Cut it off at the front of the boot, turn the rear seats round into the boot and make it a Sofa.....
