yeh the rear doors would b to hard cause of the wheel arch, would it b as simple as swapping round the hinges etc, the measurements would have 2 b exact, or the door wont align properly, shave the locks and use remote keyless entry. I have some good mig welding skills so i wanna give it a go. will take alot of paticence tho, tell me all your info as i am only in the brainstorming stages atm.

the bootlid will b easy, just put hinges at the slope end(hinges similar to those of the doors) once again shave the lock and use a boot release which will be moved 2 the rear window end.

Whay the hell would u want a suicide bootlid!!!??
If the car has practical use: eg putting shit in the boot, then it would make it totally impossible! And even if it wasnt a practical use car: eg all stereo in the boot, its heaps easier to look in the back of it anyway.
highway driving would be fun if the boot did pop up. another thing, how do u intend on holding the boot up when its open????
pretty pointless i rekon, just my op though

doors and boots that open the opposite ways. I dont see the point of the boot and bonnet, but doors mite be worth a try. About the boot, it'll be a bitch cuz the back end of it is almost a 90degree angle so u'll have to come up wid a way of making it lift up b4 it opens or something. I seen a site somewhere with a kit for lambo style opening doors cost around $1500US so ur doors alone will cost more then ya car. Not very practical but fuck would be sweet seeing a gem like that for once instead of some rice bug.
cheers.

nah bootlid would b piece a piss, doors will b hard but i cant wait to do a cruise and remove my self from the car via suicide doors, fark a few jaws would drop. Yes its gonna b 4 show, its also having most of the roof cut out like that rick ludgates gold tx gem. the bootlid would win hell votes 4 innovation at shows.
