Convertible appeals to me, when I was cutting up the Irmsher I had the first thing i did was to cut the roof off at the base of the B and C posts and left the windscreen there. It looked real natural, not at all odd. I jumperd up and down inside to see if I could make it flex and was quite surprised how strong it was. I wonder if they added any strengthening for this show one! It would be hard to get the approvals even if it was strengthened over here. Then if you don't get the rag top right it would look like shit.

Yea if I can get another Piazza i'm making it into an aero identical to that for sure :)

Convertible would probably be too hard to get engineered here too.

How about a coupe! Just made it in paintshop

I rekon it looks a bit like an EXA on steroids.
Too many Piazzas to little money.

Currently unemployed. Watch this space.

yes bob, make us proud. You should also start playing with a piazza targa top. You got a welder? Strip the car, start cutting! :protest:

Looks very S12 Silvia/Gazelle Coupe-ish. The 2 door sedan/coupe, not the hatch.
