Has this sort of thing ever been tried on a convertible? Could be tricky getting door seals to line up properly..

you mean Lambo doors? do it ! :-D

consider the weight of the doors = you could need structural reinforcements to the car given is is firbeglass . . . ??

Unless you are building a time machine I wonder why

Don't you think it's kinda funny on a convertible?

I don't see why this could be a good idea, unless your garage is very small, or if you always ding the car that park next to you :-D

I like the "weld on" part of the description. Does it come with special fiberglass welding rod? :-D

Garages in the UK are not very high either.

mmmmm

I thought you meant a sort of 'gull wing' doors from a hard top........

mmmm....not sure about those rotating doors.....

Sorry to go against the majority, but I think Lambo doors are suited to any 2 door sports coupe/convertible providing that they have frame-less windows (which most do these days).

I'd like to see it on an Elan.

Ailwyn,

If you EVER do that to an Elan, I'll never speak to you again

I still quite like the idea of the lambo doors, but Jim, just for you, I'll cancel my order :-D

by **jimbob** » Wed 27.06.2007, 21:25

If Elan prices drop any further, every boyracer in town will running about in elans with lambo doors, twin exhausts, stickers on the doors, led's on the washer jets - etc etc :shock:

Don't do it :smt075

Wouldn't it be a great idea to get a big tin of filler and fill in all the swage lines / seams along the side of the body and make them all smooth :smt078

Dont worry only kidding!
