Hi guys was just wondering if some people could do me a favour.
I wanted to know if the wheel base of GC/GD 4 doors were the same as the 2 doors?
Would assume so but wondering if someone could please check
I just measured my GC 4 door at 2415mm and width (from flare of guards approx) 1620mm
Cheers Matt

Re: Wheelbase
Awesome mate, thanks heaps for that.
Quite comprehensive. Still not sure if I would use a 2 or 4 door for this....I know which would be easier to get parts for, but it will be an expensive build so wondering if I put the extra $$ into it for a bit more class.
Out of interest, is there any difference in the weight of a 2 or 4 door if you know?
Cheers Matt

Re: Wheelbase
So the astron only weighs 40kg more than the saturn. Hmmm...
Cheers.
Cheers.
Re: Wheelbase
According to the chassis manual it does. I would have though 60+ if asked, guess I would have been wrong

Re: Wheelbase
I would be very interested in the out come. I am going to weigh the hardtop when it is done with the 63 to see the difference. I would think the 63 is closer to the 32 than a 54
