I'm lazy so I will just copy my reply from the 914club site:
Scissor doors block the door opening when they are open. Gullwing doors are more practical (?) because if properly done, they make getting in and out easier than a stock car. I tried to talk Zach into gullwing doors on his but he wasn't going for it even though I tried to convince him that car would go faster (insert smily emoticon). Either type of modification is a huge job! If I was doing a 914 instead of a Ghia gullwing, I would either make the doors removable to keep the open roof concept or make t-tops that pop out leaving the doors in place. Here is my gullwing and t-top album:
