Converting a vert to a coupe?

[Shadow Stalker]

How hard would it be to convert a vert into a coupe and is it possible? I was just curious. I've been throwing the idea around in my head, but it may be easier just to get a coupe rather than converting the one I have. Another deal I have to think about is the cost, may not even be cost effective to convert it.

It's not worth it. Get a coupe if you want a coupe. It's not as easy as just welding a coupe top on the vert.

yea get a coupe


the windshields totally different too.. i believe the frame is thicker and a bit shorter.

I am thinking, without much knowlege of fox bodys that it would just end up costing you alot of money and it would end up being cheaper to get a coupe.

[Shadow Stalker]

I figured as much. Just thought I would ask the ones who would know for sure. I may try eventually try to sell the vert if I can find a solid coupe or hatch to trade for. I just don't know if I could get enough for my vert.

You can get what you paid me for it .... I lost my ass on it cause i paid too much for it and didnt care ...

[Shadow Stalker]

Getting what I paid shouldn't be a problem, just may be hard to get another solid running car for 3,000.

[Bulldog Stang]

yeah, i hear ya ...

[Shadow Stalker]

Just can't afford to sell it and end up with only one car right now.

You shouldn't have any problems finding a solid running coupe down there for 3k... hell, my 81 ran and it was sitting for 8 years (had a straight 6). I only paid $500 with very minor body work.. With what I've put into it so far, I could have put a down payment on a new one. lol1 so $3k shouldn't be that hard to find.

[Shadow Stalker]

Easier said than done. Some people down here have big heads and think that just because they have put a crap load of money into a car then they will get it back plus some, not gonna happen. I found a 96 for 4000 in the auto trader but no telling what is wrong with it.

[88GT]

yeah, it's hard to find a desent fox for 3000 anymore. Got mine for 2800 but needed alot of work

[speedfreak87]

As long as you're not in a hurry, you can find one.. you might have to go to other states also... When I was looking for mine, I was about to take a trip down to GA just to LOOK at one, because the guy wanted $1k for it..

[Shadow Stalker]

I will probably stick with what I have. I like the car, it is fun to drive. I just wish I could get in some decent off duty work to get some extra cash to do more to the car than what I have done so far.
