if anything, vert to coupe, not to hatch. the verts start as coupes. we've got alot of similarities, but in no way is the roof the only difference. Us verts got different framing structures to support our lack of roof support, the hatch just has a wider rear paneling, but the framing is the same as the coupe. verts got this wierd O-hole looking rear framing support, opposed to the beams. Atleast mine does ![]() ![]() -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW! Damn D-Man - most impressive.

All of the Convertibles were built off of GT coupes, that's why the Convertible didn't come out until 95, when the hatch and coupe were released in 94. The reinforcement on the convertibles were done to retain the original stability of the coupe (while the top is up ofcourse). The rear end on the convertible has extreme reinforcement to be able to maintain it's structural integrity even when the top is down. -------------------- |
