Soft top conversion?? Anybody done it?
Can anyone offer any advice?
I don't know of any case where this has been done and I suspect the reason is economic: the differences in price between hard- and a soft tops are marginal so the best course of action is to sell your hardtop and buy a convertible. Yes, I know that RHD-convertibles are very rare and mostly limited to a single engine option -300 GD for 460s and G500 for 463s- but in the case of the former another option is to buy an used bare bodywork and rebuild your hardtop SWB around it. The finished product would be so much better
I think that you are talking about GZilla in the states.

I hope that this helps. My personal recommendaton is to leave it alone, but each to his own. Good luck with your project.

I've done one, it's quite easy if your handy at metal fabrication and a mig welder, its the green g in the gallery, i'll put more photo's up and details if you want?
I agree that a 'proper' one would be best but, I fancy a bit of a project and I would prefer to fabricate something myself for fun use in the summer....
I am sure I have seen some pictures of a diy black lifted G that had had the top chopped off??
Anybody seen it?? got a URL?
