A real crazy swede - Click HERE for Original Thread

dance_of_curse
My friend from sweden has a euro version of the 180sx that being a 200sx and he decided to make it a 'vert. He braced the front and rear and is about half way done. I guess it helps to work for the Swedish Army as a helicopter mechanic. Ill update as i get more pics :D

he also just told me he is gona be putting a new spoiler on new hinges so im guessing he wants to make it either a hardtop or soft top

The welds on that bracing look like they are.:blink:

Let's hope he leaves it there. That bracing should be where the doors open. :lol:

he welded in metal around where the b pillar and c pillar used to be, before he cut the roof.

So what? Still doesn't change the fact that it'll be about as stiff as a wet noodle.

Look at a direct side view of the car. Now open the doors. See what's keeping the car from bending in half? Yep, the tranny tunnel and the side rails. Fuck all there.

that thing will never make it into canada bro not like that atleast.

he will need to fabricate some kind a roll bar behind the front seats like the cobra mustang to help with the flexing.

looks not bad though its different and i like originality
