The second shot with the adjusted roof looks spot on Harko.

Sort of a raked roof look on first shot.

Need another profile shot please for all us to drool over !!

profile ....
the rear window I was planning to tilt to about this level but LUCKILY you blokes have reminded me to get it out and check the profile ,Thinking now that I will leave it sitting as per factory ,just a few inches forward of a stocker :), This area is pretty critical to the over all flow of the roofline ..

I like this stance but prob an inch lower in the front and some old school wheelie bars :D ("Hear that" fshssssssssssssss , Just threw out my line :D )

The longer tulip panel will help with the balance of the car, giving it a slightly longer look. That will work well with the two door conversion.

When the rear window is lowered possibly an inch in its proper position, this will help as well. As does changing the rear pillar shape and thickness.

Its looking great

Thanks :lol: I feel Im on the right track and apreciate the help smooth.

Oh Matchew :oops: Thats just a little toungue in cheek for Ratbox :D .
Ive cut the front guards up higher ,it has dropped stubbs and Im planning on clearancing the rear of the tailshaft tunnel if need be :wink: She'll be lower than the wagon by 2 inches atleast.

3 1/2 to the sill would be great .

you won't get me harko see i know you live in NSW or as some like to call it 2008 :shock: :wink: :lol: :lol:
at first i couldn't see the pics, then i could looking at first lot of pics i thought hope he's gunna lower the back :shock: then saw the next lot with the photoshop version and i calmed down :D :lol:

don't know the technical terms so you may have talked about it but looking from the rear the section between the boot and rear screen looks to high, if possable i think the bottom of the rear screen should be level with the top of the bootlid
