    Yes I wouldn't mind sponsoring your drift Z.

    The tubs are going to be $500 price drop from $600.
    I was going to mould the whole hatch and tub to make a fibre glass one piece for mine soon this will allow me to eliminate the raised lined that the hatch has at the tub joining point if you know what I mean.

    not sure

    I will have to weight it for you.
    But if it was all F/G I reckon it would be lighter.

    I'd be in for one of these but i'd want to see it in a different colour than black to see how it looks.
    Awesome Job Though:zlove:

    F/G hatch

    I was going to do a F/G hatch but mine has a tube in it now.
    So after I make a mould of my tub and hatch together I could do one.

    And Lexen wont hold its own weight so it sags in the middle of the hatch.
    You wont have the curve in the middle of it so you end up with big flat spot in the middle.
    I can still make the F/G hatch though.

    WOW looks great ...

    Would love to see one on a 2 seater deeper and up to about 7cm from top hatch line (if the 2 seater will allow you to do that) make a nice Italian rear engine look to the car, spagetti and rice does it get any better !

    Something like this ?

    Would a 2 seater let you go that far ?

    Or a 2+2 with the seats folded down like a ute, BUHAHAHA rice, italian and aussie the real Monaro or Japaro TM (with a LS2 :eek: ) and a 6 speed omg I'm getting hard, and twin turbo that does it i gotta be alone for a bit.

    If you hurry up with a 2 seater tub, I might be in for one.

    What do you do about hinges and struts and lock and sealing and 3rd brake light ?

    mmm if you line up that back window you can see it will be in view from the rear quarter view.....unless they have done something so you cant...but i cant think of what

    Could you ...

    Use curved perspex/plexiglass and make it curve back into the fins to match up with rear quater ?

    Starts making it harder then it need s to be though.
