Lightbulb [B]Targa suggestions?[/B]

Okay, so I know that there is a thread about someone who had a targa already done to the FC, but I need to know where i can go to get it done for mine? I think it would look pretty sweet, because my FC is yellow. Any suggestions on who I should go to, or how I can do it myself? Any recommendations will help greatly. THANKS!

first,, it will take alot of work and time. before cutting anything sub-frame connectors either bolt-in or welded should be installed. also it matters if the car has a sunroof or not. if so then body work is needed to fill the gap. about 4 inches from the windshield to allow support for the removable panal and the back top edge of the door(s) draw a line across the roof at the back top edge of the doors. thats the gap to fill if there is a sunroof allready. and something else to think about is the doors, the vert doors have a different window setup then the coupes. you may want to find some vert doors first too before starting. bracing around the windshield is a good idea also. if no bracing is used anywhere the car will fold right up, not at first but will start to sag the more the car is driven, i like the idea of a removeable section of the roof. targa tops are cool i also think a 1st gen real targa removeable panal should have been a option from mazda.

It does not have a sunroof... unfortunately... because I probably wouldn't want to make it a targa... but since i am going to make a big hole in the car, why not make it a REAL one! hehe
