it was only 2700. that included subframe connectors and all. thats for the basic kit. you could get a carbon fiber top for an extra 300 on top of that. ive looked into it and it would be really had to do this. i was thinking of using the header panel above the windshield from a vert and using all of the verts latches and everything. it would give it a clean factory look. the only problem is cutting and welding that piece in.

 

there was a kit in the classifieds for sale.....

 

I'm going to convert mi 2005 to a targa top as soon as I get a lil free time. I will make my own kit and parts will REQUIRE:
SUbframe connectors(safety)
6 point roll cage (rigidity)
weather stripping(water proofing)
Ford stock latches from a 94-up convertible mustang( easier to use stock ford parts)
207 SUperglue ( used to butt rogether contoured weather stripping to seal roof)

 

That is the funniest thing I've read on this forum in a long time.

 

Targa tops are awesome. You get the benefit of a convertible without some of the trouble, mainly slashed tops [:@]. But I don't think I'd spend $3000 doing it.

After reading that article, I notice is refers to the engine as a single cam in the caption of the engine picture. However, in the article itself, it mentions all the mods and calls the engine a "twin cammer". A dohc would make 345 with those mods, so maybe its true, or total bs.
