Maybe its a dumb question but imo the HB is better for a convertible.

If you want to have a trunk in the end... you need to start with the coupe then turn it into a convertible.

If you made a 'vert out of a FB... you would have the interior of the car stretch all the way to the bumper. There would be no trunk.

Try selling a car in the US with no trunk at all. Probably not going to work very well.

I made one! I cut off the roof before I drove it to the junkyard. Really ugly!Looks like a big bathtub!

Wanted to see how it looked and maybe do a serious later, two weeks after that I saw my first 240sx Vert and totally fell in love.

Just move the bulge where the top is from behind the back seat to over the trunk lid.

Or picture a PT cruiser convertible...

It's a custom. This is my 3rd targa top hatchback pics. 2 from Europe, 1 from downunder.

BTW, I like everything minus front bumper. I wish it were 180sx kouki bumper.
