    e30 convertible into a hardtop, is it possible?

    i was wondering if it's possible to make an e30 convertible into a hardtop car? and if yes, you think how much will be spent?

        does your car still have the coveing on the hardtop or was it taken off?

        also do you remove your softtop frame from the car or fold it down for the season?

            The canvas was stripped off and you just put the top down and bolt down the hardtop

                you can search the classifieds on here, many other BMW forums or even your local craigslist and find a used E30 convertible hardtop anywhere from $900-$1500, depending on who's selling it and the overall condition.

                    Yes intruiging thought process which brings me to another possibility which has not been done due to logical reasons. Can I haz a hardtop car be made to convertible? bc I think that would be most baller status.

                      Probably easier then turning a vert into a coupe!
