Has anybody thought of retro fitting targa panels to there t350C. I dont know if its available from the factory, otherwise im sure there must be other things available?
I only ask this as looking at the way the car is built, I belive it wouldnt be to difficult to do but any suggestions would be appriciated, as i may be missing the point in the way the roof may be more structual then i think. What do you think to this or am i being stupid

I thought about that to (sadly too late after I had ordered the coupe' !!)
The main problem would be fitting the extra roll cage stiffening member. Targa versions have an extra stiffening beam which runs longitudinally between the two openings of the panels. The only way I can see of doing this properly is that you would have to remove the body to allow for the full circumferential weld. Of course, "anythings possible", but I'm not sure how much all this would cost in labour...
other than that, I dont see much of a problem - just cutting the openings and re-trimming!!!

I saw that on the targa there is this strengthening beam, but what i can understand is why, as the the cage is what gives the rigidity so cutting the roof in theory would not affect this.
Could it be that TVR though about people doing this so fitted the extra bar so as to put people off??

A sunroof isn't that heavy though, GRP is quite tough really. Anyway, what about a Citroen C3 Pluriel style pull back canvas roof (similar to the 2CV?)
Look at the Hollandia 400 on this page:

I think it would work.
