uhhhhh.... hopefully not all your threads are going to be "COULD YOU DO THIS TO A CAR?" Anything can be done w/ enough $$$. If you have eyes, you should be able to see what must be done. Doo jou has eyes?!

Cedes Gullwing:

no, further posts will probably not be "can this be done" type stuff. Maybe a few "has this been done already?" which is my main question about this, i havent seen any gull wing z's, have any of you?

If you can ask it... I'm sure it's been done or thought of already. www.google.com is a good resource.

I typed "GULLWING 280ZX" into www.google.com and found lots of info.

Hey look!!! Someone else has asked this same question: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t53448.html

Hey look!!! Wikipedia even has info on this subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_280ZX

How about projector headlights in a 280ZX? Has anyone thought of doing a V8 engine swap into a 280ZX?
How about custom tail lights!?! I bet nobody thought of that one before...

i dont think it would take as much money to make it sound and look stock as it would to pay off everyone who saw it and make them say that it looked and sounded stock.
