t tops

Bron431 · 03-31-2008, 05:04 PM

has anyone converted their hard top to a t top? what do you all need to do it?

chrisclose · 03-31-2008, 06:30 PM

personally, if i was going to go through all that trouble, think i would go targa top, but just my opinion. i have already started sourcing parts from the mk3 supra and trying to get together a solid plan since i have a crappy sunroof, but i have nothin yet.......

if you have a factory hardtop, i would keep it that way!!

i have heard that the hardtops are the lightest models out of the hardtop, t-top, and sunroof. i would just stick with the hardtop and get another one thats a t-top.

it would cost about that much to do it right...... you would have to weld the top from a ttop model onto yours, get it painted and reupholstered, and hope you could locate decent tops, shades, etc.

if you really want t tops, buy the $1000 one, put in your tranny and sell your hardtop.

i can get some. it might be this weekend before i can though. its got very minimal rust on the rear wheel arches. there is also a dent on the DS rear corner by the tail lights. interior is great. BTW the tranny is an automatic. thanks.

Well, if I hadn't painted mine, I'd have swapped in a heartbeat. I'm trying to get as little roof as possible (I drive an S/C sunroof car and N/A sunroof car). Don't screw up a hardtop with something silly like that (only hacking these up for race cars is acceptable). Definately sell and buy another or swap (almost anyone with an unmodded T-top car would trade you in a heartbeat). Heck, I'm tempted to go buy one to swap with you, I've been looking for a hardtop for a while now. What color is your hardtop and what year?
