I have found an XB 2door Fairmont that is a convertable.(all engineered 15 years ago).Does anyone know whats involved in putting a hard top turret back on to get the original shape back? Also any ideas on where to locate an aftermarket turret?

I don't want a convertable. The car has been in storage for the last 12 years and is in excellant condition. No rust. Try finding another one for under 30k in that condition and I will take a look at it.

thats a point, but how much is it? Cause even though there getting harder and harder to find, their still out there at decent prices. for instence, my sister just picked up a XC GS faker. 302, T bar and 9". for $1000. Just gotta look hard.

Would be a lot of work to reverse enginner it and it would need to be reenginnerred again and its a lot harder then it was 15 years ago now days.

He first car was a XB GT replica. so XB/C have a place to her. Like E series to me. But for 4k, it might be worth it. its your choice in the end. good luck eather way mate. |

I have no intention of passing on it yet. A convertable is still cool. Would still like to turn it back into a hardtop though. The price is right to start a good rebuild/restore or streetmachine project.
I'm just after any help or info on where to get the turret and whats involved in re-attaching it to the body.
