In the ad is states "4 door sedan"...

It doesn't look too bad in my opinion!

Hilliers, at it again?
Roofline doesn't flow at the rear very well but it would get some looks.

Nice, but I think the roof needs to be 2" lower and the front seats need to be 3-4" lower.

I'm pretty sure the conversions will set you back $30k from Hillier Brothers, so thats about worth it.. if thats your thing. I'd rather invest into a GT with money to do it up.
