Vertical doors now fitted

well the red widebodied PETIR Celica in Melbourne has a similar Decah scissor door kit fitted and that alone added about 15kgs if that's anything to go by...

...oh and the owner paid $4K just for the mechanisms alone.

The full package that arived weighed 32lbs, take the packaging from this and it should be around 30lbs but then you take off your original hindges which are maybe about 2lbs in total so the answer would be about 28lbs at an educated guess.I have a source who will send the kits to me cheaper than the price that guy has paid, with the exchange rate i would guess you would be looking at about $2400-$2800.Hope this helps.

What happened to the guy who said he was getting it done at a good price over there in Aus.....

2. What happen to the guy in QLD claim that he can get a Vertical kit for $2,500Aus

i aint gone anywhere, i just kind of spent to much on christmas prezzies and alchol, and also i getting it done for just over 1500. and i am still 100% sure about getting them, just as always money held me back and also thinking of postponing until after stereo goes in, which costing me about the same. so sorry if people waiting for pics and stuff, however i did gett some pics about a week ago of the hinges and stuff that use to atach to the car. i would love to post them up but i cant get the damn thing to post, if someone wants me to email the pics to them so they could post them i can do that.

Tom, if you can't get it done for $1500 now, let me do it first so y'all can witness the conversion and see what it's like in operation. I'm happy to use my car as a donor car for the kit...

the only thing i'm concerned about is whether the conversion is reversible, so that if it fails RTA or if the quality is not up to scratch, I can always revert back to factory setup (and consider it as bad investment). and since I'm from Victoria, will they have any installation manual available since it is logistically unviable to transport my car there for the job and back...??

How high are the doors when fully raised?
I wouldn't want them to hit the garage roof, or low-roofed car parks.
