Cheers

You cut up a R32:eek: :eek:
Intresting project....leave the wing off.
I look forward to seeing this one finished

leave the wing off or put a new mustang style wing(I think it gonna look cool) :D

It looks better with the wing off.

I'd say wing off. Nice bit of imagry, too. You'll have a very unique piece if you do cut it up... :)

Leave the wing off.
Kind of looks Rx7 cabrioish though.

The Panda waits with interest to see the resault.

i say nay with the wing but can you try a wing that is lower to the trunk

Tell me what you all think so far.

Cheers.

it as to be lower man :p

To me it looks kinda strange seeing a R32 with the roof chopped off..lol....guess im so used to seeing them around here with roofs on.
Looking good through...i stll think its going to look great when finished

:eek: That turning out very cool, man!!! :)

Do you think a roll bar would be appropriate? ;)

whoaa......that looks super crazy....but that's a great job in cutting it up.....i think the r32 looks pretty nice in convertible form....haha.....i agree w/ the others about the wing...leave it off......is there an engine for that model?......i don't think i've ever seen an rb26dett engine.....or an sr20det either.....that would be cool...

Jay, what kind of rollbar are you talking about???

You know , mostly some old cabriolets used to have that bar thing... to make sure that when you roll the car over nothing happens to you... mostly old 4 -seater cabriolets had them...

But those rollbars are used in roadsters, not in 4 seaters, right???

Wrong. The yellow Golf is a four-seater.

The examples I had in mind were the Mercedes 500SL and the old Shelby GT500KR. :)

oh shit.....the 500kr is a sweet ass car man.....that shit costs like 80 grand for a 1:1 scale rite?......dam.....but if i had 80 grand.....i might just buy an r34 gtr.....save up another 90 G's and get the SV package from signal auto.....8.999 in the quarter on street tires!...come on now......who can compete w/ that? and SV stands for street version......riiiitee....:rolleyes: :D

i wasn't refering to the yellow Golf, but to the rollbars in the Audi TT that daggerlee posted.

Now, what do you think about putting S2K wheels on the Skyline???
