Posted by 420agreenvilleSC, Jun-22-08 11:04 AM
ive search but only came up with one result. Is this possible? if so, what is needed? Is it worth the effort? What all (parts) will be needed? frame fabrication? Enlighten me. lol

two completely different cars man. to chop the top off you'd have to restructure the bottom of the car to decrease the added flex. easiest way would be to take the front clip off of your car and put it on the rear of a vert.

Conversion made easy: sell your car and buy a convertable.

Do a search for Targa eclipse/talon and then read what those guys had to do to make the car not fold in on itself. both of the cars I've seen were fully caged inside.
