You've been watching too much "American Hotrod" ...
Haven't seen it done (on a 914, anyway), can't see why anyone would want to spend $$$ to do it, but hey, it's your car!

You know, I've never even heard of someone trying on a 914! You might be able to use one of those "universal kits", but I would anticipate a whole lot of welding-in of reinforcements in your future if you try....

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: http://allshops.org/cgi-bin/community/comm...d=9990093218361 John www.ghiaspecialties.com |

Gullwing 914....hmmm.
Yes-mount the doors to the fiberglass top! EUREKA! Now the doors remove with the top for that "enhanced" -wind in your hair- experience. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE!!??? AWW SHUCKS!-- I just realized this would never work only because it would no longer fit in the trunk.
