Convert roadster to hard top

(1/2) > >>

am33r:
Not sure why would you want it changed but you could make hard removable top for it - it shouldn't be difficult at all, and the ebeauty of owning a convertible - is to be 'Convertible'

Unless you end up upside down.  Then you can't get the doors open or the top off.  Time to break the door window.

It wasn't until I finished the car I was glad I kept it as a roadster. I have the best of both worlds, keep the top on or take it off.

For me I find it easier to work on the inside cabin by just taking off the roof, and not having to worry about 2 more side windows to deal with. I leave my roof on 95% of the time so its like a hard top to me. Another small fact that plays into head is safety, should I get into an accident where my doors wont come open- I can flip the front 2 latches and then pull 2 pins out that's on the rear connections and push up on the roof and Im out....

Kinda a cheesy thought but it does add a little comfort mentally for me....

New Rule- all newbs must post pics of their project!!!!

Lol Alrite I'll get a few pics up soon.. U do have some good points and I'm kinda against the idea of trading bodies just cuz the kit I have is pretty straight as it is, I probably will just stick to it and keep it roaster status. Still curious tho if anyone has ever done it before It doesn't seem like it would b too challenging to mod the rear quarters too look like coupe.
