chopped off top, please help
a few months ago i chopped the top off of my 05 stang cause i was having problems getting in and out of it. i'm only 6'1 but i have that really long leg crap thing goin on. once i'm inside or outside i'm good but its just that process of doing it. now i live in yuma, az. where its really dusty. i cleaned it really good one last time and put a car cover on it cause i'll get like a quarter inch of dust in a day now in the interior. now i don't even drive it. does someone out there know of a way to fix this missing top problem or any suggestions? i appreciate anything i can get. i'm a pretty bright guy it's just that this thing has me stumped. please help. in the meantime i have been forced to drive my 85 cutlass. uuhhh.

No, I don't seem to know how to fix your problem other then get the top replaced. Try to go to a custom shop and see if they can fabricate you some T-tops or something. Other then that, you should have thought about your leg length and gotten a vert instead of a hard top.

when i bought mine i was in germany and they werent shipping verts there or let alone making them at the time. i would've traded it in but my dumbass payed cash for it and i would lose too much money. plus on top of that i'm 21, my insurance would kill me.

Why the hell would anyone chop of the top of a brand new car?
I'm flabergasted! Hey you know what you could have removed your seat and put in a milk crate instead of chopping off your roof.

RE: chopped off top, please help
um....so explain to me what you did because i dont think i am getting it...
you decided that there wasnt enough room, so you cut a hole in your roof? furthermore, you bought an american car in germany in cash, then had it shipped back to america? then you realized that it was all a bad idea and decided to fix the hole in your roof?
...i am sorry man...i dont know what to tell you....go to a good body shop or bring it to ford and ask for another roof
ps. can i see a picture of your car? i really wanna see what this looks like
