RogSquadron Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I recently cut the roof off my 97' Civic coupe, and am trying to figure out a way to put modify a soft top to put on the car, making it a convertible and not just a roadster. Any ideas on which cars would make for the easiest conversion? In a perfect world, I would love to have a push button top, but realize that we don't always get what we want. I was looking at a early to mid 90's VW Cabrio. Any other ideas that might work? Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Can you even open the doors? You need to reinforce the hell out of a unibody before making it a drop top. So work on making sure the car isn't gonna fold in half before you put a rag top on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerrodh Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Like buy a convertible. EDIT: Buy a Del Sol. Close enough to what your wanting with no modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Interesting. Some of the early 90's cavaliers and sunbirds were convertibles. The roof assembly on one of those may be similar in size. Being you did compromise the integrity of a uni-body car I do hope you were planning on putting in sufficient frame reinforcements as well as some roll bars.

adamEj6 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 dont put a soft top on it. just put a cage in as if the roof was still on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
