928 GULL WING or SCISSOR (LAMBO) doors ?

Brett928S2 · **Posted:** Fri May 11, 2012 7:40 pm

Hi All

I like my 928 to be a little unusual or even unique, so I am considering either GULL WING or SCISSOR (LAMBO) doors…

I have done some research, but would also like any input from anyone here…

Good idea, bad idea?

Opinions on the concept or opinions on the actual engineering (strength of roof or hinge panel) , or suppliers etc etc.. ?

All the best Brett

Hi Brett.
I like the idea of the gullwing doors,the lambo type always look a bit tacky on anything other than lambos IMO
The other thing is when the prices of our cars rise which i am sure they will soon will you be left with something thats worth very little? I remember all the escorts mk1 golfs etc which in the 80s were "enhanced" with bodykits which are now snubbed as messed up by the purist brigade.
I would think before you get out the angle grinder !

Hi Grahame

The last Escort MK 1, I saw for sale was 15k lol....I was stunned when I saw that price...

Somehow the attractions of my 928 might not be seen by the purists anyway

Hi Brett,theres a guy sells parts on e-bay calls himself paddy911t who has a 944 with doors which open upwards in line with the side of the car,not proper gull wing I know,but worth a look if you can find him. Might be worth a chat with him. It would certainly be a good idea for the supermarket car park! :lol:

Design 911 do them for the 966. They must around somewhere? I think the biggest mod' is the wiring harness needs extended?

Go for it, I think the upwards openers sound better than the gull wing tho'

Sounds great - Upward openers would be my choice if I was brave enough!

Show is the photo's of the finished kit
