holy crap....

Holden didn't make VN soft tops.
If you cut the roof off a VN it will fall over. Like a box with no tape.

Just wait till you go back to school in weeks time and you'll forget about it.

Nothing wrong with people wanting to do something unique! Yes he obviously realises work needs to be done as far as strengthening hence why he asked the question.

Regardless of who is a student and who isn't, you really need to get off your high horse. Everyone here started somewhere, even you.

To the OP: I say keep researching it mate, it is always good to think outside the box. Not saying it is viable but do not listen to the few bitter and twisted people on here.

Yeah, but I started by rebuilding carbies.

Not cutting the roof of a VN.
You can't run a 9" through the pillars then drive it down the road. If you've gotta ask on a forum about it, you ain't gona do it.

Regardless of him actually doing it or not is no reason to respond with such an arrogant comment.

People like you make others not want to ask questions on this forum. This is the entire point of the forum, to share idea's, advice, feedback etc, NOT to insult students or new comers to the car scene.

Edit - Enough said - back to topic

If people ask genuine questions I endeavour to answer it. I don't mind how extraordinary you want to be.

But the OP is clearly dreaming, if he was serious about building a convertible VN commodore the original post would have contained a substantially more information.
He was "Guessing" it would need "Chassis Improvements".
Seriously, I'm getting the impression he was standing beside it imagining it without a roof, and then dreaming about chucking laps in a convertible VN with his supermodel Girlfriend.

If he was serious, the OP would have been allot more to the point and asking specific questions about the construction of the chassis.
It wasn't.

So how can anyone short of an engineer answer the question?

convertables (mainly astras) are for girls you sleep with not girls you marry!~
