ppl would have made 3rd gen convertables inside

hi,
when the fire went through my car,it buckled some of the metal in the roof part behind my t-tops,now i was wondering,would it be benefical to make it into a convertable?what all is different in a convertable?is it just the trunk lid different,or what,i know it will be alot of work,but,what i have now,will also be alot of work,and i would much rather have a convertable,than t-tops,thanks alot.

1) Get yourself a convertable Doner car

2) inspect the Convert car closly for what was modified

3) Get some good WELD on Sub Frame Connectors

4) SWAP things from Convert car to yours.

Never done it, but thats the best I can do...
