My driving is limited to warm weather as I have one hell of a time getting in to 914 with top on. "Old war injury". Idea came to me that if I could modify a top so as to fold it over from driver's side half way, climb in and reach up and pull back to latch down. Has anyone seen anything on modifications of tops? It would be nice to keep the integrity of the top as far as weatherproofing.

With the existing targa design our cars are pretty ideal for gullwing doors, just build a t-top roof, then fab 2 roof sections and some window frames and weld them to the doors. You could probably even retain the stock windows if you are smart about the window frame construction. If you had an extra set of doors you could run it as a t-top. It is totally doable, just throw fabrication talent and money at the problem.
