i'm in bris and don't really want a soft top anymore. are there guys "out there" that can do this conversion for me? or would the best option be to goto a wreckers and get one (are hardtops & softtops the same length?)?

i have seen 1 or 2 proper canopys for jtops, but they arevery rare and ithink they only made in japan. if you manage to locate one locally made post up details as they are very hardto find!

I have seen a few around, last one was on the way to ormeau at a servo.

Talked to the chick about it - she just dropped in to the local wreckers (zillmere) one day and there it was - got it for $500 :cry:

Her j top was white and the fibreglass top was silver, i told her it looked crap and would look better on mine (silver) - didn't work :cry:
