Sedan vs. Coupe - caged convenience

[UNHCLL]

Sup bros,

So the title may be a little misleading... I currently have a sedan, but I'm in the process of fabbing up a widebody for the rear and it seems like it's gonna be a real bitch to make something that'd work with the rear doors. Probably gonna end up tacking the rear doors shut and fabbing the quarters to go over them.

I'm also planning on doing a cage + fixed back seats in the future, so I realize blocking off the rear doors may make getting things in the back difficult... but seriously though, how much of a pain is it? Do, say, recaro/corbeau slider mounts go up far enough to get suff in/out of the back? Or do you guys cut an access hole where the back seats used to be (figure that'd be OK since the rest of the car just got reinforced with the cage)? Thoughts please?

Without knowing what you're building the car for... you may want to look at rule set and the requirement to have a hard wall between trunk and cabin, even if fabricated out of aluminum. So you wouldn't have an easy "pass-through" as it usually must be fully sealed off.

I can't get anything big in the back seat area with my cage (wheels/tires), and that is with no passenger seat. I just don't use that space for anything, really.
