Hi,
Short time listener, first time caller. I have a targa top, with windows in the top. This top does not fit into my trunk, so if I'm tooling around with the top down - going fast is my only current option to prevent getting wet. Are there any options for temporary tops? Other than a tarp? Thanks, Tom. |

Decent, unmolested tops aren't too hard to come by and fairly inexpensive, if you're patient.
I've had the idea of a folding frame with a canvas top for a long time ... may get around to actually fabricating one some day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Like this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Garold, do you have any 'structural' pix of that? It looks very similar to the vision that's been floating in my gray matter.Several years ago, I noticed another 914 in the parking lot at work. It had an nice aluminum surf rack that utilized the stock targa attachment points. I left the guy a note to call me. Ends up, this fellow employee has a lot of innovative ideas and other modifications on the car as well. In any event, I told him that the way he had his rack mounted was the same method I was thinking of, except for attaching a fold-up scissor-frame for a canvas roof (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I kept at him to join NARP and World, and after a couple of years, he finally did join up ... Mike (Ruby914). |
