I've always thought it would be a fun project to make my 240 into a convertible. Yeah, I realize it would cost a lot of money and time to do all that extensive custom body work. It would be unique and different though. I saw a picture of a guy with a Kouki convertible. Not the greatest picture, but it kind of works to get you an idea. Except, I have a Zenki.



What you think?

I would try and photoshop my car without the roof on it, but I can not photochop if my life depended on it.

I just want a convertible because I live in Arizona. I don't want to buy another car just to have a convertible though.

 

better offset wheels first haha

imo, not worth your time, especially for a full functioning convertable cloth top... hardtop vert, maybe

 

Why? Lower your car.

 

That's not my car..

I have a blue 240. I was just posting that car as an example.. lol. I would never let my car get that dirty.

 

I was gonna do a targa s13 with a rollcage myself, but then I was like screw it, because if I get in an accident... the car is gone... so I hear.

 

Arent those Just the S15 Silvia Convertibles from the factory?

 

^ yeah, silvia variettas (although they all had a non-turbo engine I believe)

 

Yeah, those S15s are hot and would love to have one.. haha.

 

If done right I don't think it would be that bad. Personally I really wouldn't wanna drive one unless it was super reinforced and had a roll bar at least.

 

yeah Im not a big 'vert lover. But if it was done right it wouldnt look to shabby.

Off-Topic: that girl next to the Silver S15 is hot.

 

um... i dont think convertible would be the way to go... just make it an open-top car... IMO tryin to make a retractable top would be a pain in the ***.

 

I wouldn't convert your car to a vert it would just kill it and cost alot of money to do right. The only reason the other guy did was because a tree fell on his car and it was totaled, so he thought wtf, why not.

If I where you I would look for a s13 vert, would probably be less then you would spend trying to convert and you would have two working cars instead of one chopped up dangerous car.

 

If you want a convertable you buy one. You dont ruin a completely good chassis.

 

Guy one? LOL, not sure what that means
but yeah! Buy one.

 

Why? Nobody takes care of the 240 Convertables. Unless of course, the person who owns the car is into the car and they KNOW what they have.

I would be spending the same amount of money just to fix the mistakes of the previous owner.
