I had a 914 in the 70's and liked the targa top back then. But in my middle age I have a solid dislike for convertible anythings, targa tops, sunroofs, convertibles, semi-convertibles or anything but a simple steel roof.
I also like the extra chassis stiffness a welded steel top will add. Here is a steel top but with a 924 sunroof. I don't get the sunroof but then I don't expect anyone to think a solid steel roof is a good idea either. Anyone weld a steel top on their 914? |

I talked to George Hussey a few years back about welding a solid top on the 914 ala 916, and he had some fellows (in England I think) that could do it. It was an awful lot of work (translate $$$$$$), so unless one has the skills to do it themselves, it's probably not really feasable for most of us.
The car does look awful nice with that sunroof however. As I get older, I also like the idea of AC and other comforts more and more. |
