Does anyone know of an s14 that has ever been customized to be a convertible?and if so, does anyone have any pics for it?

I'm pretty sure it's never been done due to the sheer difficulty of it all. I have seen an S13 coupe get it's roof cut off and a removable hard top installed, but I've never actually seen someone make a working top out of a non-convertible.

The closest you'll see is 110octane's vert which he put an S14 Kouki front on.

I saw one on ebay a while back. It was pretty nasty looking because they tried to do some other body mods at the same time (R32 tails for example). .

Remember that the chassis of the S13 'vert has a ton of work done to it to strengthen it for the convertible top. I'd be pretty concerned about cutting the roof off a vehicle that hasn't been properly braced for it.

I remember the car your talking about...looked pretty nasty indeed. The s14 body just doesn't look right as a vert.
