Posted December 12, 20168 yr I know this is going to pain some people's eyes but I couldn't help think about smoothing the tailgate onto the body and making a small trunk opening. Does anyone share my curiosity or am I alone with this thought? Certainly different. I'll give it a Photoshop when I get home. Edited December 12, 20168 yr by Alic
December 12, 20168 yr You're probably alone there and it would look odd as the window lines carry all the way to the back. There would be a huge amount of work to reconstruct the tailgate to maintain its rigidity in order for the glass not to pop. I don't see any benefit from either from a practical point of view or a styling point of view.
December 12, 20168 yr Does anyone share my curiosity or am I alone with this thought? No Yes :rolleyes:.
December 12, 20168 yr Maybe I'll have to make one then to prove you all wrong :shifty: Do it! Always good to have something to laugh at! :)
December 12, 20168 yr Author Didn't think it was a Zed. Thought I recognised the door and roof line a bit, but you guys are right it's an s15.
December 12, 20168 yr My reaction would be similar to what happens when the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones - - - Updated - - - My reaction would be similar to what happens when the Nazis open the Ark of the Covenant in Indiana Jones I.E my eyes and face would melt
December 12, 20168 yr Author Think what you will. Im not crazy enough to make it, looks slightly off but its not as bad as some of the fibreglass atrocities.
December 12, 20168 yr Think what you will. [ATTACH=CONFIG]103288[/ATTACH] Im not crazy enough to make it, looks slightly off but its not as bad as some of the fibreglass atrocities. Looks like Glupe on wheels! not a single balance proportion, at least at that angle. To be honest I don't think the S15's kit is that bad, overly fussy on the skirt lines and a bit Fiat coupe!!! on the body line, but with better execution it would be halfway to a good fit! The issue I have with the Z32 and possibly why many of us look at wide arse kits, is the girl has no hips!, particularly given the flared arches on the front end. The LWB the fuel cap always comes into play and I hate the bolt on arches as a quick alternative. The best solution in my eyes is a good panel beater to pull the panel over the natural arch line whilst keeping the original outside shape.. I'm still tempted to have a go on mine seeing as nobody wants it...Lol!
December 12, 20168 yr it does look a little odd like here is mine from the same angle and in red to look at your pic then look at my pic speaks for it self
December 12, 20168 yr Where did the rear arches come from again? When mine go rusty (because they are mild steel and outtside) I think il go this way.

December 12, 20168 yr it does look a little odd like here is mine from the same angle and in red to look at your pic then look at my pic speaks for it self Bare in mind the photo is a SWB as opposed to your LWB...doesn't change my opinion on it however.
December 12, 20168 yr No Yes :rolleyes:. Same here, if I'm honest...... ......And whilst you might actually get it to look good (I said "might"), you'd be spending an absolute fortune, for no real purpose or gain! Save the money - or spend it on something that will be of a real benefit:cool: I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:

December 14, 20168 yr I was joking about actually doing it, but it does look atrocious if I'm honest. IMHO Fixed.
