2nd generation vert to coupe

what do you guys think about this,..i just seen a 240sx coupe and was thinkin what if you somehow made a vert into a coupe,...not a hatchback but a coupe maybe even take a 240sx coupe top or make your own....

Sounds that way, although fabricating that's going to be rather difficult, especially getting some latching hardware installed. I'm not sure if it'd look much better than the stock verts look with the rag top, but there's always the chance.

Why in the WORLD would you put a top on a convertible?? I don't even remember what my car looks like with the top up, it hasn't been up since I bought the car. I feel bad for all you guys with coupes, I really do. Topless is where it is at!!

BMW made the Z3coupe on basis of the Z3 roadster. Result: Stiff as hell chassis that looks really mean IMO

screw Oregon, I live in West Virginia and someone did that to me and I don't have the money to fix it...
Skyypilot: what do you do when it rains? Just get wet?

I personally dont like the way the verts look, never did. I guess its just a personal preferance. I dont like any convertable car now that I think of it (besides a Miata ).

The only way Id ever own a vert is if it had a Turbo II or 20b swap done. I like the way they look, but I cant drive something so slow :\
