The bird appears to be flying well Tony, takes a few nerves to drill holes into a perfectly good panel hey!! But the result is worth it so long as you've measured right!!

row 1, you cant really make a pillared sedan pillarless.

nekro not sure if you mean in photo shop or real life about pillarless, if you look at my photos i've done a pillarless sedan but it didn't have side glass at all, it was also choped 3" and made into a 2 door we could have made glass if we wanted to muck around but pillarless cars are meant to be driven with the windows down

i have a mate with an fj that is pillarless with windows

westy thats the one
the guy that owns it is an inspiration, i think he's in his sixties he's had all sorts of heart probs, he'd owned the car for years with small block and roof chop then decided to go the full show rebuild with very little car building knowldge (he's a brickie) this included a 2 door conversion first with pillars then he saw my EK pillarless and decided to go that way, its been painted about 5 times all by him, it's only been painted so many times cause he keeps changing his mind what colour he wants it and each time he paints it he strips it completely all this from a guy who like i said is ageing and with a bad heart.
his name is jimmy and he'll yap to you all day long he's a real nice bloke
