I was just browsing the net and came across this picture of a convertible FTO. Dont know if any of you have seen this before, so I thought Id post it up. Does anyone know of any convertible FTO's in Australia?
I reckon its pretty cool and original, but needs to be a lot lower with bigger wheels.

Looks ok but it looks too long, looks better as a coupe.

Well i think steve (smorison) already answer your question, basically Aero & Targa top r the same, except one is glass (Targa) & the other just a normal metal (Aero). So if steve is able 2 do Aero, i'm sure the Targa won't be far off.

i already asked Jetspeed, and i was quoted something stupid at over $4K just for the mould... pfffft
if anybody can find someone to build the bar for much less than that - let us know so we can all chip-in the cost for a group buy!

suborn in dandenong/springvale area do custom kits from about 2.5g (i think) but it'd be much cheaper if more than 1 person was getting the same custom kit....
see'ing as 1 mold would be needed.
