Anyone Know Where I Can Get A Rear Cut?

[oxford1327]

hey guys and goils.

i was wondering if any one knows where i would be able to get a rear cut of a stagea say from the a pillar back, as i would like to build a trailer.

even if it is only a shell it doesnt matter as it would be getting gutted anyway but would be nice if it had the windows and all the other glass in it along with the tail gate and lights etc.

if any of oyu guys have any ideas i would be keen to have a look.

cheers oxford

damn that would be insane

i'd imagine youd either be best off finding someone that wants a stagea front cut, and doing a deal..

that sounds awesome, if you do manage to build one, be sure to post up some pics

That car got sold for a dirt cheap price and is currently getting repaired at the moment

Try Kresta in Brisbane 3245 1555

Talk to John

They got hold of the original crash test vehicle from compliance approval

Will/did have some damage in the rear RH dog leg from side impact testing

They may still have the shell.

k great thanks guys.

i have seen a similar one that gave me the idea in a french car mag, it was done with an rs4 AUDI wagon and it looked trick as hell all painted the same colour with the same tint and wheels etc.

the doors on the front still operated but the rears were welded shut so there could be a flat lift up floor put in there that was accessable from the rear tailgate.

whole unit looked the goods and saw another one that was done from the B pillar back so it was shorter and had a flat front instead of a steeled in windscreen area, same model car but different colour so might have been the same family or workshop or something?

MY GOD

that looks AWESOME though!

I would much rather like from the end of the bonnet back, as I would be using it for long haul journeys back to brissie, so having the windcreen there would make it look that I was towing someone, or someone was following REALLY close!

[qikstagea]

Would be fairly heavy though, that long. You'd need to have its brakes hooked up, i believe. Would be better wind resistance, though...

I figure you could probably use the tailgate from another stagea again, to reverse it and use it to seal the front of the trailer. I dunno. Never done it.

Ive seen it done with a torana. You know how you see them with "torana" decals across the bottom of the doors? the trailer had "torailer". Original. It was from the A-pillar back, too.

[AlexCim]

hmmm

I think i might do this too

At this point, looks like my current stagea will become my run-a-bout and ill get a 260rs as a fun car.

I just will loose too much on the current one if ill sell it and cant go past the auto and towbar for towing.... a trailer....that is half a stagea.

why dont you just turn your current stagea into a trailer, and tow it with the 260RS ???

That would be one mofo expensive trailer!!

would handle sick though

Leave the front wheels on and you could have a B-Double Stagea trailer

[B0oStEr]

I think if you were to build a trailer from the A pillar back you would have major problems with the balance of the trailer putting excessive weight on the tow bar.

[qikstagea]

ahhh... good point. put a lot of weight on it, it would. Whereas B-pillar boack, the wheels are pretty much mid-trailer. the torrie one i saw was just a coupe, the two doors.

simple guys, stiffen up the rear car suspension, weld the tailer onto the car via a ball joint from the a pillar, put rubber around the car/trailer to stop rain and you have one of those bending buses

[qikstagea]

seen these too. the RSsix Stageaccordion.

ps bit of a hassle whippin up one of these bad boys in mspaint... ill leave it to someone else.
