I've seen two so far. s14 zenki(black primer) and kouki(white). Both of them, they just chop the roofs down, so no soft top or anything. I have pics somewhere. Our picture master Boom should have some too. If no one posts, I'll try tonight.

Someone made a Zenki vert to moderate success, that's all I've ever seen. Otherwise there is 110octane's amazing S13 vert with a Kouki front-end.

If you're considering turning an S14 into a 'vert.. I would strongly advise against that.

The S13 convertible was substantially strengthened and buffered on the chassis and various points to give it the rigidity it needs to exist w/out a roof.

You'd really have to do a lot of work to get an S14 to be strong enough. I wouldn't drive a chopped off S14 personally..

My advice would be to get an S13 and do a body panel conversion instead of chopping up an S14.

this car was on ebay a few months back. I have no idea about anything more than it was cheap and chop top.

I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Could probably be really neat with some good body work/paint/kit and wheels

I don't think we have any more pictures. This was not a forum member just an ad on eBay. Good luck!

funny thing about that is, if i remember correctly, they are actually corvette lights fashioned to look like R33 tails....

that white kouki is interesting too.....

You are right. They looks like c4 tail lights. IIRC, the seller said that r33 tail conversion was done something like that in the description. Whatever it is, the result doesn't look that great considering time and effort the owner put in.
