Wouldn't it be nice to buy an 75 banger and be handy enough to try and convert it into a soft top. I wonder if it would be possible.
I bet that Indian guy on tv would manage it. I can't remember the name of the programme but it was good to watch.

Leepu and Bernie in Chopshop London.

Convertibles are very difficult to get passed because of the lack of chassis strength/integrity, but would make an interesting project though.

Where's that angle grinder gone.

For strength, you could add a T bar like the old Triumph Stag!!

Retro lifestyle, no updates for quite some time! Think it got pushed aside when they realised they wouldn't make their initial deadline of pol and buying a sv that required work didn't help either!
