[richiecs3]

I saw one at Billing on Sunday. It was on the Vauxhall Convertible car club stand.

I did not have my camera with me but it looked quite well done.

I liked it.

You can just see it on the last picture in the background.

i seen that one already it cost 15 grand to do i for get where he got it done but you can find it on utube or just google convertible calibra's and you will if it thanks any how

[Bazza_84]

they are basically the arse end of an audi 80 cab grafted into the calibra frame

[Steve!]

must look really crap then

[richiecs3]

do you know any web sites that i might be able to look at them cause i'm thinking off getting it done in the future if it does not take selling the house....

[Bazza_84]

the conversion is 10,000 euro's

was looking into it myself but i would have to have the 4x4 turbo ehich a gd 1 is 2-3k then the conversion at 7k just seems alot to spend on a car when u could buy an m3 convertible for that price

[kieron_67]

wow that actually looks pretty good.

Didnt think it would look that good at first

[Bazza_84]

they look the dogs but its just too much, otherwise they would hav e put it into production

[Drizz]

The look good actually!

[show n shine]

that does really look good to be honest

[richiecs3]

any idea where you could get it done cause i would get it done at a later stage i think it worth it cause its only a week end car a vampire would see more ligth than that car does i'm getting my engine back next week i just spent a crap load off money on it and cant wait to get it back.. so just loking at the next stage of wasting a crap load more money so mi can just lok cool on sunday.....

2 things that worry me, they werent designed as a convertible, so without the roof the chassis must flex in an alarming way making a bad handling car worse! Also, the windscreen would need strengthening otherwise have a crash and it'll be game over

[Bazza_84]

they weld a bar behind the dash that goes left to right, they also strengthen the insides of the car allong the side seals n put a rear strut brace under the hood box

ad for the screen i dont think thats strengthend atall, n the only wat yiu would do that is to use a razor thin cutting blade n then weld some box section in there.

good point tho

Eh?

[Bazza_84]

the strengthening thats been put in

[kazsymonds]

It looks good, but all this extra strengthening will make a car that handles like a bag of **** even worse surely?

[Bazza_84]

correct!
