(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hey everyone, I have been lurking around on this site for about nine months and came across what i thought to be a great deal. But im now starting to think i may have just dug my own grave. This is a '75 salvage title with what I think is the original engine and tranny. I have not even really looked at it mechanically so I could not tell you why it stopped running, ( according to the PO six months ago). Up untill that point he was using it as a daily driver. Then the feul delivery stopped, and he decided to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) "spyderize" it. Anyhow, the main question i have at this point is what to do about the targa sails/bar???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I would like to bring it back to a stockish look; with the option to put the top back on it in poor weather. Let me know if this is a possibility and how much a PITA it will be. I plan on installing a roll cage, so the original targa strength is not paramount. However i would like to be able to drive in the rain and not worry about taking on water. Any advice is encouraged and appreciated

Check Out BEACH BOYS RACING Long Beach Ca. they have convertables and all kinds of cuts, Also I see rollers come and get it Free or $100 all the time, I did not read where your at in the world but there are alot of people wanting to just rid themselves.. Also it may be easier and even bestter way to restore a car to what your looking for.. You could dial in the roller, and fix nice everyting else as you swap out the guts, easier than you think and whenyour done you will be familiar to the core.. Then with your new learned info, that Spyder may not be much of a project in the first place and you could finish it as a 914 Spyder whihch does look like a fun project anyways..
