Suicide the rear doors of a sedan?

[steelbluesleepR]

im considering doing a sliding ragtop, but the whole easy-to-break-in thing is keeping me away...

The expense of putting one in is what has kept me from having one. I wanted to get rid of the moonroof in my CL and have one installed but it's so damn expensive.

EDIT: Actually I just found one that's 35"x35" and they want $375.00 for it. I guess they've went down from the last time I priced them.

I have done suicides but not on a honda. I believe If your going to tackle this for the 1st time. I would get something to practice with. Buy a set of rear doors and go to the JY and find a set of GM hinges for a heavy door like a camaro. You will definatly need some steel at least an 1/8" to weld in for a brace. Go with a Tig welder much stronger on the sheetmetal side. Suicides have a reputation of sagging after awhile. If your going to drive it alot. I wouldnt do it. Lambo doors have to be readjusted all the time.

Thanks for the tip... much appreciated. I have some cb7 parts cars out in the field... I may pull one up and practice on one of those a bit.

Do you think they would still sag if they were properly braced? It's really not that heavy of a door.

One pin compared to two and your also putting the heavy end of the door on the swing. If you use these doors allot that one pin is going to wear.

He knew it was a guy, that's why he complimented his ass. There was no sarcasm there.




The car is REALLY nice!

that car is nice. suicide doors are nice, but they can be a pain in the ass after a while. over time they will start to sag and you have to adjust them every once in a while.

Would buying quality parts and doing shit the right way the first time have the same results?

Once my CB is no longer my DD, I'd love to do shit like this. lol

[2lowcb7]

buying quality parts does help. do you use your back doors alot?

[JoshM]

Very rarely. I've only used the backseat once this week. And that was to put my backpack in the back because I had someone in my pass seat.
