Turning a VL Sadan into a Coupe

[morri3]

Hi,has anyone out there turned their 4 door commodore into a coupe? I'm just in the planning stage i've got the panel side of things sorted as lengthing the doors etc but i'm a bit stuck on whitch glass to use as i would like to have windup windows in the rear 1/4's as well .. Any ideas??

There were a few VH's turned into 2 doors way back in the 80's. None of them looked quite right. I'd say hacking the back doors off a VL and scrapping them is a great start but you sill have the rest of the car to go.

I've got no pictures but have thought through the project , it all hinges on what glass i can sorce , an auto glasss mate suggests that i try and use a two door glass of a jappa that has the same angle up the a piller , it has to be done propperly as i will have to get it cert ed

Why not buy something off the shelf instead of reinventing the wheel, have a look at an opal Monza, get the complete doors etc off one problem solved.

why not just buy an adayer sportiff (vh 2 door) and put a vl front on it.

I appreciate you're trying to do something different but this just seems like a bad idea.

I'v live in nz and never seen a two door commodore, so thats why , my mate's chopping a mark one cortina s/w to a two door but my comma will look better after all its a holden!!

Look at some Opel Monza's, plenty of parts/ ideas to copy.
