Convertible appeals to me, when I was cutting up the Irmsher I had the first thing i did was to cut the roof off at the base of the B and C posts and left the windscreen there. It looked real natural, not at all odd. I jumperd up and down inside to see if I could make it flex and was quite surprised how strong it was. I wonder if they added any strengthening for this show one! It would be hard to get the approvals even if it was strengthened over here. Then if you don't get the rag top right it would look like shit.

Yea if I can get another Piazza i'm making it into an aero identical to that for sure
Convertible would probably be too hard to get engineered here too.
How about a coupe! Just made it in paintshop

This's what it looks most like, s12 silvia, pretty similar shape to the Piazza in the hatch version

Looks very S12 Silvia/Gazelle Coupe-ish. The 2 door sedan/coupe, not the hatch.

the red one looks like a celica from the front and rear reminds me of a cordia.
