Had an offer today from a well know 914er. So let's see what 222 would look like without the Targa.

Here is before:

I looked at removing the targa bar. I decided that by the time I added structure to replace the thing, the weight savings would be minimal.....plus the handle is a very recognizable feature of the 914.....without it, it's just another Miata.

Not bad and a FB Targa could always be added later.

Man, the car sure looks long.

What's the story with that amazing, shiny bus in the background of the photos above??

The targa-less picture looks pretty good. A clear cover over the engine would look awesome

Yea, for looks you'd definately need something over the engine. But as I said a FG targo only weights 4lbs.

The bus in the background is Randy Grubb's Decoliner. Randy races with all the Medford boys, drives his Dad's Birkin. He is really a good driver and does well at all the events he runs. Nice guy as well. And of course a real artist. BTW just Google his name and check out the stuff he has built.

It has a 908 flavor to it without the targa bar. I like it. Didn't think I would. But I do.
