suidicide doors

Buzzz · 2004-02-03T08:06:35+00:00

I've got a '58 beetle which I'm currently fixing up. It's going a have empi 5 spokes, redwall tyres, dumped all around, I'm putting a ragtop in, green and white vinal interior (haven't decided whether to use the original interior or get a new set put in), painted in a bright met green with numberous pearls, 1600 twin port with twin carbies, etc. My question is should I make the doors into suidicide doors or should I keep (at least) all the bolt on stuff original? I'm heading towards converting the doors but friends are saying I shouldn't as the car is such a solid '58, that I shouldn't muck with it too much. What does everyone else think? Also, I'm thinking of putting white guard beading together with white window rubbers. Should I, or should I stick to the black? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Ryan
