What an ancient post.
I have read a number of places that the 914 needs its rollbar for structural integrity, and a lot is lost if it is removed. Sorry, don't remember sources - but makes sense to me. Others might know....... GN QUOTE(bd1308 @ Feb 2 2005, 02:30 PM)  I stumbled across this from a user's link in the signature....can this sorta thing be done? |
