All the new chassis from the eighties had the dropped floor.
Perhaps somebody is confused about the body being widened because the cars with flared fenders are referred to as wide bodies.
Roland wrote the flares were fiberglass, I believe him. As Franz wrote, all of the Embo coached cars had dropped floor pans. It is very easy to lower the car if shocks with adjustable spring pre-load have been installed, you just screw the adjusters lower on the body of the shock. And as you inferred, that does mean the car will bottom out more easily over bumps.
Just avoid those bumps!

This is indeed a beautiful car. I loaded Willi's web site and he seems to have done this a few times!
I have an 82 GT5 and this car is nothing like it. The only recognizable similarity is the front hood.
Fenders, front fascia, air dam, door panels, roof, rear panels are all different. Nice bodywork touches have been done everywhere.
I guess this is a great idea of what to do first time I emulate my kids and manage to take out all four corners in one small incident.

Deeb,
What are you saying is different about the door panles and the roof?

Deeb,
I contacted Tassilo, the guy who did the conversion. The only thing he told me about this car is that it was from an '82.
Who/What is Willi's website?
