Not sure why you would do it or if you could. I have seen swing up doors for the front though. Let me know if that interests you and I'll try and find the link for it!

Currently you wouldn't be able to open the rear door unless the front door is opened first.. that would get annoying very quickly Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70775-ba-rear-suicide-doors/#findComment-1043900 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hinges would be custom made and the lock would be to suit. You would probably have to reinforce the door where the new hinges would attach to for extra strength too.

Good for napping people also as you would just fling the door open as your driving past Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70775-ba-rear-suicide-doors/#findComment-1043963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
