Gull Door

[3R1K]

Anyone here knows any place to convert normal door to gull door (if you open the door it goes up not to the side)?

Thanx

Erik - the cost would be prohibitive. Plus i doubt you will be able to pass inspections. It will be highly unlikely that u do.

Furthermore, if u park, u cant get out if its a tight spot

bambam

that depends where they hinge

at the roof like the original gull wing mercs or at the front of the door like the lambouhs

would look sweet but it would have to be a show car other wise its a gimmick and waste of $$$ that could eb used on the engine

Troy the gull wings go up like wings rite

the ones like Lambos - are they called gull wings too? i dunno

[33Spec2]

both are gull wings but lambo doors you can open in car parks merc doors you cant due to the angle it opens at

erik are you thinking about doing this to a skyline?

if yes id say dont do it unless you are building a show car like troy said its a complete waste of money and will make the car hard to sell if you ever want to get rid of it

[skyzerr33]

gregor had a pic of a gullwing skyline awhile ago

i think veilside did it

that will give u a hint as to what it looks like

[G0DF4Th3R]

hmm i reckon some gullwing doors would go with the plates..just to complete the whole Star Wars effect

and then airbrush a yoda on the bonnet:p

ill see if i can find that pic

Ok guys I get your points, yeah you could be rite, I better off getting performance parts but do you know how much will it cost ? the one that similar to lamborghini not mercs SLR.

[3R1K]

One more , it's for self interest not fashion car for AutoSaloon or stuff like that.

I guess I can close this thread

gullwing skyline is owned by do luck i think as mate has seen it under a car cover gathering dust and he would not bloody sell it

Hey Erik

Has your car been fixed yet?

Who did you send it to?

Cheers

gullwing doors would rock - eriktufa if you're going to do it you'll need to talk to a bodybuilder (no - not like dan) and see how the hinge arrangement would work.. I don't see it being too hard to design, but bear in mind you would be manufacturing the parts from scratch so I'd say it would be rather expensive..

But waaaay cool...

[dan_the_man]

There is a few websites offering kits for different cars. Come with the gas strut lifters. Prices were around $2500 for kits

[3R1K]

R34 -> not yet , Peter Wilkinson

caminperth .> body builder? i'll try i guess, thanx for the tips

dan_the_man -> 2500 kits w/o labour? i guess it's better to get other stuffs

I know this thread is a done deal already, but only just yesterday I went to the SuperAutobacs Car Show in Kobe. They had a VERY modified EG9 Civic, with Lamborghini-style swing-up doors, and S2000 headlights... insane.

When the pics are done I'll put 'em up if your interested.

Theres a kit we are looking at bringing in which converts doors to gull wing. Its really not that hard to do.

Not sure on price so far but PM me if interested.
