supra joe Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Really.. We'll then all our cars are worth about 400 I bloody hope not! I've put thousands in to my aerotop. Japanese auction sites are the place to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 If you could work out where to put the additional sheet metal and spot welds you could reinforce the right places to replicate the factory strengthening. To be fair if you weren't arsed about the interior and braced the car then cutting the roof out wouldn't be an issue. Finding a cost effective and leak free fit on the aerotop roof might be entertaining. The roof insert piece is an easy whole buy but where would you get the structure side mounts and seals from? From what I remember the Veilside fortune aerotop I was looking to import before I bought the Do-Luck aristo was a chop jobbed tin top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra joe Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Doesn't the aerotop have a lower roof than the hardtop though ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Doesn't the aerotop have a lower roof than the hardtop though ?! Not that I am aware of, I assume there the same height as the hard top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Doesn't the aerotop have a lower roof than the hardtop though ?! The floor is raised where the chassis has been strengthened, you sit a little higher in it for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
