Just wondering how much should i cut out of the rear end?

im still keeping it as a hatch and still want part of the rear window ohterwise i personally think it looks too short..

also i have seen it cut straight through the rear panel and also cut with a step in it..

Are there any advantages/dissadvantages to either way?

Many thanks

cut 440mm from mine and ithink it kept its shape the hard bit is stopping the roof having the broken back look i raised the roof about 18mm above the tailgate glass and put a tapered fillet in up to the join in the middle . i will now attempt to upload some pics dont be suprised if they are nowhere to be seen and i will have to go and find a 10 year old to do it stand by

Yeah that is what im looking for but maybe very slightly longer.

but hey you never know i may get carried away while cutting and then its too late ill have to stick with it then :)

That looks well smart. IIRC the roof needs to be cut further ahead than the body if you want a tidy joint. The rear side panel cut at an angle is probably to allow a longer joint, someone not to confident about their welding :?
