The wagons have a near 50/50 weight distribution. The 2 dr is lighter.
when either is gutted, and when you move things around, you can choose which body style you like better...

Towery does very well with his 4dr: http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=127832

Ben use to do pretty good with his wagon: Mein Kampf: 1988 245 DL - Turbobricks Forums

I think there is one place that sells the main hoop, or it might be a 4 point bolt/weld in, but i dont remember the name. Custom is probably what you will need to do.
do you require a rollcage? the two guys i posted above dont have one.
