Thanks,

Due to family issues I haven't been real active here or with the Fieros in general. My daughter is getting married the beginning of the month and Elvira is still ill. We finally located a specialist so hopefully things will get better soon. That and some vender issues - but that's another story in itself. Hope to see everyone before the summers out. I've pretty much put the project on the back burner till everything settles down.

Pass along our best wishes to Elvira, and good luck with the wedding.
Thanks Gary

Did you cut yer window and drop the centre of the top frame?? If you did i like it, it gives it a lambo jada look.
Edit i'm wrong

That looks like molding / stripping to me.. not the top frame of the window..

thats just the window strip thing hangin down.... rob i used the old section of the roof i cut out for the top.. i dont usually fabricate stuff i just took out the saws all one day and decided i wanted a targa top... it looks like im copying off of the rat... but i swear i had my tail lights bumper and planned the targa before seeing your car... but i like your taste.. i plan on putting headlights in my bumper tho maybe 300z

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Hopefully she'll get better soon. Till then, I'll just try to keep this out of the archives till I get back to it.

Thanks again all.

Rob D.

ill help u out, i love your car.. i just gotta try to get ahead of u with mine ! i think ill wait on the chop top for another car wihtout a targa top but damn i love yours... did i mention that already?

Well, I got a little bit of good news today. I mentioned that I had some vendor issues in my post above. I just wanted to clarify that it WASN'T a Fiero vendor. I'm doing a tail light mod that will be a little different (for now, hell someone might do it before I get done with it the way things are going ). I ran into a problem where I ordered the lenses over 2 months ago, took the vendor forever to ship them then, as my luck would have it, FedEx lost the package. Of course the vendor wouldn't send me another set till they got the money from the FedEx claim. Needless to say that the box came in today and I couldn't be happier with the lights. I'm not going to divulge the mod for now...that will be a surprise. And no, thier not Altezza's.

Good to hear, tell her we said "Hi".

I just found this thread so I do hope your family is doing well first. Then to be callus I want to ask, which may have been answered before, but where do you stow your targa top if you are on the road? I only looked at the pix and you have my blessing and approval to continue. Very nice.

Well the original intention was to have a collapsible soft top that I could carry with me in case of rain but that hasn't been panning out. What I plan on doing, since I can't modify my trunk to slide it in there because of the N20 bottle is to make a removable carrier that clips to the rear deck lid and allows me to strap the targa section down. I was thinking of using parts of a luggage rack. I still have hopes of getting the soft top but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

Rob D.

That is really great news about Renee' Rob!! Tell her we aall said hello and wish her a fast and healthy recovery

Steve & Family

Hi Rob, I hope Renee has a speedy recovery too. Tell her I send her my best wishes, you too.

Glad to hear everythings goin good....Cheers to a swift recovery!!!

Is B&B having some problems geting the soft top to work, or something..?? Bout how long did they have your ride initially for the targa top cutting and hardtop panel construction??

[This message has been edited by pavo_roddy (edited 10-26-2004).]

Blue Tarp & duct tape... instant soft top...

ok maybe thats a little ghetto. is it possible to make the original roof section fold in half to store? it would make fitment issues... you'd just have to hinge it in the middle.
