Re: T-Top conversion has begun

While Im not a fan of t-tops on anything that I own....Ive gotta say, that anyone that would take a perfectly good hardtop and cut it off...well you have some balls. Good luck and looks good so far.

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

You'd be my hero. How would you do it? Would you cut the T-bar off and then make the two t-top pieces into a sort of two peice targa top?

Yeah, pretty much. I'd make the roof out of fiberglass.

Nice T-tops btw Gr8S.

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

Awesome! Looks good. But man, you guys are making this hard to hold out with the hardtop.

Could you get some before/after pics of the bondo and bodywork?

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

The headliner is quite modifiable. Unfortunately I cut too close in one small spot and deemed it useless. But to those that don't think it's possible, it really is. It won't look quite as good as a t-top liner, but it can certainly look great.

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

Haven't done any body work yet, that's for tomorrow. I'm going to pick up some fibreglass and add bondo as well. Gap really isn't bad.

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

Took it for a drive tonight with the tops off.. I'm in love. Never ridden in a T-Top car with the tops out, it's great. Certainly worth it, just got to finish making it look good when the tops are out and do a leak test.

Re: T-Top conversion has begun

Schlotzky, that looks really good. I was fortunate enough to buy a car with t-tops already, but you're right. The first ride with the t-tops out is an incredible experience. It's just so relaxing, it kind of makes everything disappear and suddenly it's just you and the road.

Bone, I think we should start the Targa Top Club. I want to do it too! lol

Car is filthy dirty, but here is the first pic in the sun of the whole car. Body work starts after lunch.
