If you own it for more than 4 hours should you consult your doctor?

I posted this once before in a different thread but it seems to fit here too. The drawings of the two cars are the same scale so this could actually be done. No buffeting, secure interior when parked (other than the folding canvas top on the 500), room for a roll bar/cage inside, and, to my eye anyway, pretty neat looking. Since dreaming this up I've had an eye out for a 500 at a decent price, unfortunately most of these old cars are being restored and valued too high to cut up.

Ghia would look cool but what about the QTR panels I like the body lines of the ghia's to cover them with fenders like the 7 would be a shame .
I agree. The trick would be finding a rustbucket ghia on the way to the scrappers and and cut off the upper portion. I'd never chop up a salveageable one. Mainly I want to get some rake on that windshield.

Wait, am I actually taking this seriously?


yes me too! I have always liked the ghia's lines.
another car with nice lines is the volvo P1800's

But the P1800 is a lot more rare. I can't see myself hacking one.

Oh snap!

Some of you have been talking about needing a more laid back windshield, well I drove beside one of these tonight.

I have no idea what it is other than a Mitsu Miev but if this isn't laid back enough for you I don't know what is. It's definitely narrow enough.

Don't know how you'd finish off the back end unless you made a hatchback 7 or took the back half of the Ghia
