    Yes, I was looking at 91-95 Legends (in 2004). I just remember that after I put the driver seat where I wanted it, I couldn't get in the back seat.

    LOL
    Along with the 10 inch longer doors, 1'd use 10 inches of the sedan floor and rocker sections forward of the B pillar to extend the floor behind the front seats. The car would end up being about 10 inches longer than the standard sedan.

    Mostly just thinking out loud (unlees I found a sedan wrecked in front and a coupe wrecked in the rear!).

      Right. It's still a CB7.

      Insuring it would be the same, especially if it was just liability insurance. Full coverage would only cover a standard cb7, unless special considerations were taken... and a higher premium paid.

        You must be very tall then because i put my seat about half way back and everyone was comfortable

            I'm taller than that for sure

            I sit decently far back.

                  The wagon would provide the other half. What's that car doing these days now that it's been replaced?

                    I had it shipped home. The body structure was straight, so I replaced the main front cross member, rebuilt a PS rack, and put it all back together. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=207733

                    Now in service again (http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=208490); my son has it at school in Pensacola.

                      Well tell him that the wagon is needed for more important ventures now. The "Accord wagon L" needs to be realized!

                        Ideal candidate is a rust free sedan (or wagon) wrecked in front - I'm praying he doesn't do that.

                          the hardest part would probably be getting window glass that fit.

                            If the seam was along the b-pillar from the donor coupe (front) and donor sedan/wagon (rear) then the front door glass would be from a coupe and the rear door glass would be from the sedan/wagon.

                              i dont think the doors line up that cleanly. it would need to be 90% coupe door, and the trailing edge where it meets the B-pillar would need to include 10% of sedan front doors. The sloped angle of the coupe window and the need for added length would make for something interesting at the corner. Though perhaps youre right, if you leave at least the track alone, using all of the coupe door internals and side glass could probably work. Perhaps the "gap" can just be closed off with a non-openable panel.

                                The coupe door "bulges" rearward some where it meets the quarter, the sedan pretty much follows the line of the rear edge of the door frame. I'l have to determine if the coupe door edge can just be trimmed to match a sedan profile. Have to see if the coupe door window frame and sedan rear door window frames are the same height and that door skin profile is the same where they would meet.
