<VV> 4doors, was: Corsa differences humor

[Mark Corbin]

I did, and I happen to have his pics on my computer. He did a nice job of photoshopping a profile shot of his black 4door into a "formal roofline" 2door. My thought is that such a conversion would be easy to do, and a hoot to show. But like you point out, the only glitch is getting that rear quarter window made.

Frank Regal (from Chicago area) managed to mount a 4door roof/backlite section (above the drip molding) onto a regular 2door coupe, but said that it was a nightmare. The coupe is actually tapered in back, and narrower than a 4door at that point. You can actually see the taper if you look at the rear quarter window from the rear of the car. Frank's car was interesting to say the least.

Did anyone see the image on the 'Net a year or so ago; someone put in a morph of a car he was making, starting with a 4-door, removing all the doors and the stub B-pillar, then putting in the doors from a 2-door, the bodywork back from the door to where the rear door ended.  All he would have to have made would be the window glass behind the doors.  Very interesting, a 2-door with the 4-door's roofline.
