Yo!
I was just wondering how similar the 4wd sentras were to the fwd wagons.
I just moved to Colorado from Texas and am looking into winter cars. I want a cheap wagon(4wd would be a bonus.) I have found that 4wd sentras are almost impossible to find however i can find a few wagons of the same year.

Basicly, would it be ok to entertain the thought that i could get a cheap sentra wagon and convert it to 4wd reletivly easy down the road?

I think it would be safe to believe that changing any FWD vehicle to AWD is never going to be "easy". It's not like these things just drop in or anything. I mean, I would expect a lot of fab work, carefully measured welding and time to be involved.

Yeah, I'd probably just pick up a Subaru instead.
