Didn't happen to get a new angle grinder for Christmas did you Robbo ?  Grin
 
Seriously though, I've never seen or heard of one, so you could be the first  Wink
 
Seen a couple of Capris & Cortinas in the past that had similar surgery & they looked pretty good, even used to know a guy who went one further & turned his MK2 Granny into a pick-up  Smiley

I seem to recall in the early days of the forum someone actually doing this project, but cannot remember the details .  Might still be on here if it was after the BIG server crash we suffered a few years ago, but I don't think so . If I find it I will post you the link.

Well the lad I work with went a bit mad with a carlton, but its the structure of the car, would the back doors need welding and re-enforcing, and then whats vosa's stand on it.
http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee324/jenrobbo69/24102008244.jpg this is the link for the carlton pick-up, its good for a laugh and we have a senator v6 on the stick coming in as a donnor for it. I like the look of the scorpio as it is, so I might have to get a rougher on http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee324/jenrobbo69/03122008129-1.jpg it is really clean and tidy, it would be a shame if I recked it.

In theory, its possible - would more than likely require the welding of the rear doors and substantial bracing of the sills to take the load normally carried by the roof.  However, i think it could look rather good Smiley
 
Someone photoshopped a Sierra XR4i as a Pillarless Cabby on the FSOC - IMO it was a thing of beauty  Grin
