Subject: Re: [Semi] Idle Question: How Hard To Convert Coupe To Convertible? by Durango_Boy on 2012/8/29 12:47:27 I've seen a few threads on it so it's a searchable topic on sites like CF and DC. From what I read it's VERY involved. Not even just the body work required, which is considerable, the frame will need to be strengthened to make up for losing the upper structure of the birdcage. I've never done, never wanted to, and will probably turn down a friend if they ask me to help. I guess I don't even really see the point. The tops already come off and the rear windows can be removable like I did to mine very easily. You'll lose all the storage area when the top is down, and all the safety if the car flips. Even structurally modified...the frame will still twist and flex reducing the handling capabilities. My advice...though not requested, is to buy a convertible if you want a convertible. |
