For the cost of something like that you could probably have bought a convertible, which is also a targa.

I think you would have major chasis strength problems if you did that. On the vert they added alot of subframe bracing to prevent that. You would have none of that.

I'm shure It would be possible. You would need to refab the roof. If you know how to weld this would help. But would be alot of work.
