Re: SVX with lambo doors

Lambo doors are welded on.. (As opposed to the ones that stick on with gaffer tape I assume..) WTF is this guy on?

Re: SVX with lambo doors

I asked him for a picture. The doors if done correctly cost him $2,000 or more . so why is he selling the whole car so cheap.? I saw a Mustang 3 weeks ago ay Wallgreens with those doors

Because there is a 99% chance it's not done correctly. The guy doesn't even know if it's AWD or RWD. The idiot obviously knows nothing...

perhaps he is refering to some of the bolt on kits that don't last long as they put too much stress in directions the car's designer never intended... So they don't last long.

Honestly I have no idea how you would properly build a kit to make a lambo door out of the lead brick that is a SVX door. Well ok, rebuild the A-pillar to take all the new interesting stresses that moving the 80lbs or whatever the door is in new and complex motions.
