Don't do it!
A proper conversion should cost a lot more than $400.
It'll probably ruin your car.

the cost of a conversion should cost around 400 for parts that you would need. you would need the ttop roof frame, ttops, weather stripping, and some steel for temporary bracing while you cut the roof off

If he does good work that you have seen I say go for it if that's what you want.
I love my hard top and would not change it.

There are plenty of t top cars and hard top cars to choose from.
Don't go hacking one up.

I personally see about twice as many T-Tops as hard tops. But if you want a TTop just go and buy one, they aren't THAT hard to find.

Keep the Hard top..
T-Tops leak, t tops make your car hotter, t-tops weaken the structual integrity, your much better off with the Hard top..
But if you must have one atleast buy one that came with it factory... lots of things could go wrong with a custom job..

I have to agree with everyone, don't do it. You'd just be hacking up an original hardtop car, which are much less common than T-Top cars (but still not rare). A custom job just might cause you endless leaking as well.
