Here are a couple of pics I found on the web.
Not perfect side shots, but it should serve for the discussion to follow.
As you can see, it slopes too quickly. It also has a very sexy back glass
What if:
What if I raised the glass up closer to the template, and built sides and a new front seal on it?
The short piece of metal aft of the glass would have to be reworked to match the glass angle.
The car is 192" long, 16 feet. I think it would be fine at 18 feet long, so you see where this is going. Lift hatch up, reconfigure and seal. pull tail lights and extend body, re-attach tail lights.
Cd is .34 as it came.
Why would you I want to do this? It has a decent frontal area, comfortable seats, and
a suspension that can handle the weight of a 4bd1t isuzu turbo diesel!
I have a line on the engine for relatively cheap. It weighs in at 750 pounds, which knocks the snot out of light car suspensions.
It also has a low fuel specific.
