What value range are you looking for? do you have any additional mods done besides your sig? I have a WH1 to start with.....

 

[randyp83]

Well value would kinda be hard to say. I would say around 11,000 ,but I have a little over 14,000 in it. But I know you never get what put in with toys. Post some pics of yours.

Any rust on the car, under the t-tops, under the doors, etc...?

How many miles on the car?

Thanks.

Yes there is rust in t top area just like all the other t top cars. There is no rust at the doors to my knowledge, but i'm going to get more detail pics this weekend. car has 156,000 miles with a rebuild from the previous owener 60,000 miles ago.

If I were you and you have spent a lot of cash on the car you will not get back. The best way to proceed would be call Brian at gbodyparts.com He is in NC he has everything to make your car a hardtop. I have seen him do this several times with perfect results. Buy the time you swap titles, pay taxes, shipping and so on you could just have swapped roofs on your car. Just something to think on ...worth the call

You've got rust in the T-tops anyway, so swap the roof.

x2 Have seen it done on a T with aftermarket sunroof and a whole hard roof was put on you would never know the roof was removed and a hard roof installed

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been speaking with Gbody and Brian about it, but it just seems like a very costly thing to do. I'm just reall iffy about doing something like that. i would love to see photos of the process though.

ahh $2,500 would get it done. buy the parts from Brian, pull your interior out your self, take the quarter windows out, rear window and windshield trim and upper dash plastic. check with a few body shops in your area should cost about $1,000 to take glass out and swap the tops then add $ to paint. You put all the interior back with new hardtop trim parts. If the car needs painted this is the opportune time to do that. If not just have the pillars blended in.
