Don't waste your time and money, I understand if you want to be different, but this is above and beyond, if you want to do something that no one has done...rock some TE37's in the front and some CE28n's in the rear

Starting from scratch would be a lot more expensive. Why does everyone have to chime in with their opinions on the looks? His style, his money, HIS CHOICE. Him liking it is ALL that counts. Even if it would be a PITA project so what? Let him do what he wants. As for the windows, prolly has to be custom made which will prolly be expensive but that's what your getting your self into with a project car. Good luck

My guess is the glass will have to be custom made.

I say get it if it's your style. But I hope you work at a bodyshop bc it will be alot of $$$ to finish. The first thing I would do is make the front end black like stock.

Needs more money then most can put into it but if you have the cash to throw away buy it and accept that when you finish the money hole you will never get close to what you put into it back out of it.

What requires money to "be thrown away on"? The body is complete, engine is all there and already modified a little, it's got wheels and suspension obvioulsy...don't see anything that needs money to be thrown at...windows are the only thing. And I'm sure they won't be an arm and a leg..I see 150-200 per windows and your all set.

What about just buying two complete front doors, and changing the car to fit them, a little body work may be cheaper than custom glass?

Rather than bash your interest in the car and the car itself I will lend my opinion.

If you are SERIOUSLY going to invest money and time into finishing this project you should do it right and get custom glass put in so that you can enjoy power windows and not have something where you look retarded to have to open the door to talk to people and pay tolls etc... to me that is just stupid ghetto...

Besides that whatever floats your boat and if you like the car and it makes you happy then go for it and dont listen to what anyone has to say to you about it, your car will surely be one off.

I would throw on the duckbill trunk to get my lights back and then use the lexan for the rear windows....since I doubt anyones going to be sittng back there anyway. It looks like a project unfolding....just got to take the right steps to get it in the right direction....it could be like the Norris Designs Evo 8 (2 door).....

All you guys saying those rims are bad... its probably worth way more than your rotas.. or volks for that matter. HRE carbon fiber rims..

For your question, i say lexan. And if you were going ***** out, a 2 inch roof chop would set it off.
