Making a Targa Top

scaggsj · 08-05-2009, 11:22 PM

Is there a conversion kit out there that anyone knows of to make a regular roof into a targa top? I realize if you cut into the top you have to first reenforce it so nothing flexes once you cut Just didnt know if there was a "kit" or if I should just take to a body shop or something. I guess I could buy someones top and cut mine to fit welding in temp supports until I get it finished. Has anyone attempted this or seen it done?

Buy a targa car. Find a cheap shell and swap your equipment over. Do not attempt to cut your roof.

i have driven both targa and non targa. i way prefer hardtop, less body flex in corners , and slightly less weight. just my opinion

Ive always like hard tops better since T tops are known to leak bad if not well taken care of
