Gull wing conversion on FC
 
Well I was watching Back to the Future (you know how that goes) and started contemplating a gull wing door conversion for my 2nd Gen RX-7 would it be worth it? How do you think it would look

BDoty311 06-09-03 05:45 PM

Depends on what you consider "worth it"

Im unaware of any kits like this for FCs, so it would have to be mostly custom and probably a few grand.

Might be cheaper to just sell your car and get a Delorean.

Takahasi_Ryosuke 06-09-03 05:55 PM

It prolly would be cheaper to get a Delorean but a Delorean is not an FC with gull wing conversion doors, this is just an idea not actually something Ive decided on doing yet

Rxmfn7 06-09-03 06:04 PM

Like this? (yes thats a FC :p: )

Now that's a nice car....:cool:
How about the engine compartment???:confused:

BDoty311 06-09-03 06:20 PM

Those are Scissor Doors. Hes talking gull-wing style, you know they attach to the roof.


Man thats an odd looking FC.

yearrgh 06-09-03 06:40 PM

Look on Ebay- type in gull wing doors under search.
There is a guy who sells literatature and maybe the hinges or something to do the kit.
There is some fabricating involved, but it's actually pretty cheap!
I like scissor doors WAY better though.

The "literature" on eBay are for scissor doors, not gull wing doors.

God I love that....
No problems in parking spaces.. looks super cool.

Black13B 06-09-03 11:52 PM

OMG I checked out the ebay thread from above and it looks friggin' stupid on the Miata. I can only imagine how much more stupid it would look on the FC (without an uber-agressive bodykit)!

Akagi_Red_Sun 06-10-03 08:38 AM

here's a pic of one i came across a while back. it looks interesting. :)

OMFG that looks stupid, I be the scissor doors one gets stolen like every week. The cops probably know him by name hehehe

1987RX7guy 06-10-03 09:23 AM

If that gul wing one would be black or something it might have a chance at looking decent. But ummm you have to like stand up to reach the door. lol

I prefer the scissor doors anytime....

bingoboy 06-10-03 04:16 PM

hmm gull wing would require you to cut into your roof quite a bit and i think you'd need a car with no sunroof..

Dan H 06-10-03 04:43 PM

If you go gullwing doors, better not park between two cars... Might be extremely hard to get in or out...
