i've often thought of the possibilities, but sure it could be done, but it'll cost a whole lot, but would be pretty cool.

youd pretty much need to get the whole side of the coupe and weld it on to the sedan, b-pillar included. or i suppose you could ghetto it, and weld up the back doors.

the doors on the couple at longer than sedan, so youd need to get a new b-pillar too.

never seen before, but love to see it!

i think anything is possible if you have the right amount of $$$$$

I don't think its worth converting them, just buy a coupe camry (if only they've got it here in AUSTRALIA)

just buy a coupe at a junkyard (one in good shape obviously, theyre out ther) and transfer the engines............will be much less of a hassle and much less of an expense

I can't believe someone would do that. Would be easier trading in your sedan for a coupe. But then again, if you love your camry that much I suppose it could be done with lots of $$$$. I know I will never part with my camry, even if she breaks. Way too much history between us.
