Redwarf Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Buying a 2 door KE30 I would have thought would have been the preferred method. Quote
philbey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 This is the sort of car you bother performing an epic feat like this. 1950 (?) Hudson, used to be a 4 door. Quote
Redwarf Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Wow. No, really, wow! Quite art deco really.... Quote
bmxsexmonkey Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 well i did ask for it Quote
philbey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Yeh, it's a nice sled. Vic car I think. People also chop 1950 Mercury 4 doors into 2 doors, I just bought a mag with an article on it. The market of original 2 doors is drying up so they're onto the 4 doors. Quote
flat out Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 for starters, ke30 2 door sedans use a panel van door (longer than a sedan door) thus the rear window will be allot shorter than the 4 door one (imagine if it was one peice) just find a 2 door, there not that rare you see them on ebay all the time Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 It would be a lot of work you would need to cut up a 2 door ke30 to get pillars doors quarters probably a lot easier to find a 2door ke30 to start with and transfer your gear into that car. Quote
TE278U Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 If you really have the skills necessary, go for it. do it right, consult an engineer, get it all done legit. if you can't do it, don't waste a perfectly good four door by f@$king it up. if you persist, you should be able to find a nice 2dr that won't need much work. best of luck, -dave Quote
bmxsexmonkey Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 yea i might focus on other aspects of her! and if a 2dr rocks up at upi booya haha Quote
Ke20 King Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) its been done before to similar cars. theres was an orange datsun 1600 that had a 2 door conversion its been in a few mags and won a few awards. its had a supercharged sr20 in it. my bad its got shaved rear doors Edited January 20, 2009 by Ke20 King Quote
philbey Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 And again, why would anyone spend the epic time and money on a 1600 when they could just import a 2 door 510 from the states.... Quote
