So, my buddy at work just bought a 240, and we were talkin about what he wanted to do about it, and he was saying he wanted to just take the hatch off, and convert it into a truck bed. His dad used to do a lot of custom work, so doing right isnt an issue, he just wants to know if it would still be insurable or able to be saftied at all? ---

get it safetied before the work is done…? and insure it as a normal 240, or get it appraised after all the work is done and then get it insured. ---

Well, I found out that getting it safetied isn’t an issue, atleast none of the techs think it should be, because the drivers area is all closed off, and there are no holes in the body… so safety isnt an issue. So, I guess that means insurance isnt an issue either, unless the company wants to see the car before they insure it… Does anyone have an experience with this at all? ---
