convertible 180sx

hey guys,

im currently making a fujimi nissan 180sx. i have given it a wide body kit, custom spoilers, engine (with turbo etc.), custom wheels and stripped the rear of the interior. does anyone have any suggestions of how i can make it a convertible. or should i leave the roof on? also, how do people usually build an engine from scratch, because I used a trimmed version of a lamborghinni engine and BMW head with scratch built extras?

Re: convertible 180sx

I'd leave the roof on. I personally don't like convertables, but thats just me.
Some people have the tools to mold their own motors and stuff, some people just take parts from other kits and bash them together.
Try and post some pics soon.
