Ok so a year ago i bought a convertible z32. I know its not the most ideal setup for the car but it had low miles and i couldnt resist. I also have a tt that was mostly parted out...
I need to know your opinions on the convertible setup before i figure out which one gets the rebuilt tt engine.
I know most of you are probably biased towards the t-top or hard top but i like how no one else really has a built convertible and i like the one-of-a-kind idea.
So who else thinks i should go with the convertible?
(Its not a drag car or anything so the weight doesnt matter much to me)

Thanks. Ive been back and forth on my decision for a while. Can't decide for sure though... I want the t-top because of the smoother lines... But the convertible does have its own appeal. Still trying to find more people that did the swap, just as a reference

Same here, I'd go with the better condition body, which sounds like the vert.

Yeah the vert is allot better minus the front end damage from the hit and run last month. The other looked like a half a** build so its missing allot of hardware. So very good point ace

And i think the blacked out bottom looks good. I like the brown too but it looked horrible when the whole car was that color.
