    Worm's on the money... thought about it a few years back, checked into "Lambo" conversion because it seemed to be a style really well suited to the car. For SURE not a bolt on project. Bring a welder and body shop to the party.....you'll need them. I have both, and the skills necessary, and I'll still pass. The car is unique enough on it's own, and in the end the change would bring an "Albertson's parking lot Thursday nite car club" quality to the whole thing. How 'bout some green LED's for the windshield squirters an' wheel wells ?

    No doubt...the one body mod that really works. A little surprized the '93 concept didn't have 'em. Too much strengthening required (with alot of body work to follow) to do it right.Then the paint, ahhh the paint; can't just jam it...gotta shoot the whole thing...mebbe drop it a bit first( hell it's apart anyway) So I might as well..........You see the problem

    I'm down with WyrreJ, I vote van doors... Was thinking of doing this mod using parts from a Dodge Caravan if I ever can afford it. It would set nicely.

    Scissor doors are nice but the door needs to be narrow... When you open the door it looks like the the front bottom corner of the VX door would be at about the seat bolster. That's no good.

    Suicide doors would be the easiest way to go, but I think the look is too ol' school for the VX.

    Just my thoughts.

    Like the-??? Senku???- Mazda RX-8/9 concept this year. Down with the shape but, shove the rotary engine. The doors are decidely cool, but damn hard to replicate on a VX
