i left work early friday to go racing, my car started acting up and overheating, im pretty sure the head gasket is toast. didnt feal well anyways, so i didnt race saturday

i havent looked into it yet, but im pretty sure i blew a head gasket on my race car, (2006 ZX5 with an automatic) well a guy has been trying to sell me a rolled over 2008 4 door with a 5 speed manual (i really want the manual in my car) so im considering buying it to swap both the motor and tranny. ...

obviously people do it on custom cars, or cars that wernt made in 2 door models, but the zx3 door is the right size so its not necesary to build doors. also it would be a ton of work to make interior door panels that looked factory for a custom length door

that doesnt make sence to me cutting a door would be dumb, way to much work, plus would look dumb, i think most (or all) 2 door cars have long doors like ZX3's have

2 years ago i built a 2001 ZX3 focus to race circle track/dirt track/ hornets/ enduros, and "beater-x" (kind of like rally cars, but on a dirtbike/moto cross track) Doc helped me a ton with the car, supplied parts, and built the roll cage for me. this year i bought a 2006 ZX5 and in 2 week...

I'd guess the "easiest" method would be starting with a wagon and grafting the doors together to form one long door, the issue then is rigidity of the body. . Yep, Doc did my first race car for me from 2 cars... http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab324/PRINCETON_JAKE/Facebook/HORNETBEATER...

if anyone can "doc" can do it and make it look factory

i want them controll arms for my race car, but im not allowed to use anything aftermarket

you know my opinion, DO IT! i personaly would love to see a 2 door coupe

i would send a message to "DOC" he probably has what you need

i would bring my "new" race car, but im still finishing up the cage, and its not painted or stickered yet.... we'll see
