Oddly enough, this is the first 914 that I have never had a roof squeak for some reason. Owned it for a while till I realized one day, I wasn't hearing a squeak!

This is the steel roofed custom, no squeaks on this 914-6

how much now?
We know what he put into it, and its really cool.
Sad, but its so customized for one persons vision, its never going to get near what he put into it....

the long term plan is for scotty to weld a steel hardtop to my suby conversion. If he's still welding on 914's.

I want to do this too. I think I need to put my car on a Celette table first. I would hate to weld on a roof and find the tub is bent...

Hi Dan! How about a picture of your ride?
I am picking up my 944 roof in two weeks. It will be a bit befor I can tackle that project, but it will eventually happen!
Hope the family is well!

I want this. And AC too.
Call me crazy but a quiet, cool 914 (with a 3.0 or larger) is the ultimate.

Here's what it looks like in white.

I am contemplating this for my 4.0L conversion. Even with a Brad Mauyer kit, I broke the targa top latch on the left rear. The extra chassis stiffness would be great.

Maybe I can scavange some parts off the donor car used to repair Betty's car?

I've wanted the steel roof & a converted 915 for years; already got almost everything else

but I do not like it as much as this one: Click to view attachment

There are only so many of those to go around.

It's a big project and there is room for a lot of mistakes and "If only..." after the roof is welded on. I thought about doing it again since my 914 needs paint anyway. Would be a steel flare and steel roof project.

A lot of work and time.

I know the 944 and 924S manual sunroof cars are the preferred roof panel donors.

Does anyone have any idea if the early 1st generation 924 (pre 944) roof panel is suitable?
I may have a lead on one and need to get the Sawzall ready if it's an option.

I think the most practical way to do a steel roof would be to find someone who has the skill to make a kit and have a group buy.

Yes, I know we've talked about this and I know it's not cheap to do but a guy like you making the correct parts to make it all work gives most people a better chance of actually getting it done.

Steel roofs? YES ! For all the aforementioned reasons
