nope, chop the door at the front of the glass, straight down...suicide hinge it...
Cut the front car just behind the targa bar, cut the second car just behind the a pillar. Use the second cars b pillar for the front of the doors to latch against...swap the doors side for side... I went out and took a look at my tub and some extra door I have...it could be done and it could look cool. Personally I would eliminate the targa bar in between them, or make it alot thinner...maybe the thickness of the top of the bar, all they way down the side...make it look less bulky.. I think it could be made to look cool, if done with style in mind... make the partition window electric, so you can raise and lower it... two removable targa tops...a custom trunk bay to hold them both...

nope, they don't ... as i said in the other thread, i've got blueprints ... the doors can be that close together. and if you don't need to be able to close the top, you won't need that ugly hump in the middle. the idea was to use two stock targa tops and be able to fully close the car, top, windows and all ... but, if you were to make a always open car, that could be made to look much better. i would, however, still add a beefy rollbar behind the driver ...

that's a roller. as in, let's put some trailing arms and wheels on there so we can *roll* it around the shop. who cares if it's 4-bolt as long as it turns ??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Andy PS: the two pictures are of the same car, btw. a original /6. and yes, we had 4-bolts rollers on in the rear while it was at the shop ... |

I think if you could do an ultralong (and probably heavier guage steel) version of the Engman kit, and then have cross bracing under the florpan, you could probably end up with a strong enough tub.
It would take a serious type IV to power a limo... Also a big alternator for the plasma screens, fridge, etc. -Tony |

Speak no-more... lol2 The Bathtub Buggy was featured at the World's Fair in Osaka, Japan. Customizer George Barris built it in the 1960's, when "kinky" hot rods were popular. The body is made of twin bth tubs painted pearlescent white. The are mounted on a hand-made frame. The Chrysler hemi V8 has dual GMC blowers and Hilborn injectors. The interior is trimeed in green and gold with brass acents and the wheels are gold-dipped. Attached image(s)

I think you need to have a bench seat in the back and maybe a single seat facing backwards behind the driver's seat. Also have to divide the cabins with a window. To be a proper limousine, it cant just be a 4 or 6 seater 914....
It needs at least a TV and a fridge. Now, if its a limo, and the engine is in the stock location, is it still mid-engine? One other issue is that if you use a water cooled engine, or an oil cooled engine (large 4 or 6), then you'll have some very long lines running up front. Unless of course you do an engine bay mounted radiator and a Subaru engine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) -Tony |

ok, how about the front keeps the removable targa top but the rear gets a rear roof with a power sunroof ... that way, you can make it a real limo! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) Andy |

I like Daniel's "short" rear door. I'd probably do it with only front doors, fixed rear windows and fixed rear roof (maybe fully fixed roof for strength).

Yep now we are talkin...Now add about 3-4 feet in length so that 2 sets of seats can fit in the rear compartment, with the middle pair of seats facing the rear right behind the front cabin. 914 seats in the front cabin and custom couch-type bench seating in the rear Andys idea of a targa only over the chauffers cabin with a fixed roof over the rear portion has a lot of merits and does not detract from the concept at all. |
