Targa -> Coupe Conversion project

[Big Jon Jacobs]

That is a truly great job from targa to coupe! Excellent work! You have a great deal to be proud of and are truly talented!

[tocobill]

Love it. Was reading about this car my past tour at sea in Excellence. Great looking car and amazing build. Congrats!!!

Why not sell the targa to someone who appreciates it and buy a coupe?

Great handywork but I dont understand why someone would do this.

RIP beautiful (original) yellow Targa.

IIRC, the previous owner had converted the Targa to a flared and updated look. What tomritt did was save a rather desperate looking mess and turn it into a gem.
Just my $.02

If the car still looking like the yellow one when I got it, believe me I would have left it as is, but truth be told, the car was miserable and in need of a resurrection when I got it.

good work friend !!!!!!!!!

For me one targa is not racing, and I love this conversion

Tomritt, or anybody else, I'm curious how much the whole roof clip weighs like that which Tomritt prepared to graft onto his car. Has anybody got an idea or happened to have a weight?

It doesn't weigh much, I'd say around 20 lbs from what I remember

Oh my god!!! Wow that looks damn good. I'm in love

Really good job

Forgive him, Lord, for he has sinned.

[pc100porsche]

Fairly sure he has been forgiven and even been given an upgrade

It took a ton of measurements for peace of mind, but in the end the windshield fit just like it normally would, so no wind issues.
