Astina in 2 door? - Yes or no?

ost_uid0]Were Astina's ever released in a 2 door version here or overseas?
I know the Eunos 30x was 2 door, but somebody reckon's the Astina was also.[/color

ost_uid0]Nope, the Astinas were never relaeased in 2 door. Though some people mistake the BA for a 2 door and try to fold the front seat forward!

The closest thing to a 2 door Astina was:

the 323P - a 3 door Protege

or the 323C (which we got as the Laser Lynx in Aus with different lights at the front)

Nice job TB. I'm still looking for the rubber, I know its got to have some tyres on it*

A.k.A Web masters (no-door openings visable) somewhere on this site....hmmmm Jelly Bean shape.... *

Anyone keen enough to try a Cabriolet version on their computer too see the result, just hack off the roof and leave the rear spoiler. Just as summer bites the dust...

Someone, please try the convertible option, even if it ends up looking crap....

Looks the goods. Out of the 2 pics, i'd definately go for the coupe. Like Dan said, structural integrity.

Poor Theo, his car has been on the receiving end of some modifying lately!!
