Well, I gotta give the guy credit on the work... although, the wheels confuse me.

HE made it a convertible? Hell, thats enough of a reason to not buy it...

Wonder if he welded in the extra 35 or so reinforcement panels needed to stiffen the body and keep it from folding in half...

It's from a zero feedback seller too.

what the heck is that bump near the top of the hood? Looks like a cheapie hoodscoop that just looks way out of place.... or maybe a hood instrument panel?

I didn't even notice that before. Looks like he had an extra hump from making the toneau cover.
He probably figured, hey, I'll stick this on the hood and make it different!"

That bump on the hood just looks like a piece of sheet metal (probably from the roof) just folded to a 45 degree angle and slapped on there with some crazy glue...

I noticed the duct tape job.....for 15K I would expect more quality.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the convertible models have a set of strut bars to help reduce body flex. For $15k, I'd figure you could spend the extra $50 for a set.

props on the work, but to me, the only REAL 03 vert was made by DTP, and various insurance companies. LOL Albeit that the motor was a 2.4, so it wasnt necessarily truly an 03, but it was DAMN better than that thing
