thescrapman Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 If you mean you have a saloon, and want a convertible, then not really, unless you can find a Tristan conversion. Or find a Convertible rear tub, much easier said than done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered a Webasto roof? It's probably the best option for getting wind in your hair/sunburnt head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re brave enough to set to work with a jig saw on your saloon roof and if you can find a frame and a Webasto, rocking horse poo I’m afraid - though they do come up occasionally on eBay Edited July 7, 2022 by Wendy Dawes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surely going to be easier (and probably cheaper) than finding all the bits to convert a saloon into a soft top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks untidy, but when you look closely it's been really well welded in the usual places including the wheel arches - just needs to be tidied up.
