Wow, those doors looks very good. Is that somekind of universal kit ? And how much those things cost ?

Keep on good work

Hi,

nice work so far !

The last time I also thought about this conversion, but as I saw the prices for the mounting bracketÂ´s I thought that itÂ´s alittle bit expensive for me at the moment.
As I saw it here now, are those mounting brackets very special ? or is it probably possible to build the brackets by own with a (CNC)milling machine and some time ? only thing I donÂ´t really know how such a bracket is looking and I think some measurement would be good to probably make a CAD plan of them.

Would probably be some fun to build the whole kit and conversion by own.

Regards

Tobi

Hi Tobi,

search through the site.....iirc the last time lambo doors were talked about, a member put a cad drawing of some hinges up.....it should still be here somewhere......was it kingrichy?
not sure which member, but there were definitely plans.

Nice work guys, most impressive. I've always wanted lambo's from the first day i laid eyes on em.

Hope they work well..little worried bout the weight of the door? 480 doors are much larger than any car these kits are designed for. 480's commonly suffer from the doors dropping on the hinges due to the weight. I might seriously consider putting them on mine when the kits get a little cheaper...

Hi Rob

just did a little bit of searching here at the board but havenÂ´t found anything with a plan attached ...

Regards

Tobi

Forgot to post these last weekend - sorry for the night shots, was late by the time we'd finally welded the other side permanently on and made a start on this side (we haven't had much time to work on the car recently)

http://volvo480.northernscum.org.uk/sne ... ws/060805/

We're returning to HOTMD480 (.com

) this weekend to hopefully finalise the second door, then we can get the car back up north and carry on with engines and things

gaz/lee/wayne do they 'wave in the wind'?
saw an astra at rothervalley country park the other week...it had lambo doors, and they were a bit wobbly.....just wondered if they were secure, and the owner of these had not put them on right or sumting?
