Hey guys. My targa roof top has been driven over. I wont go into details but its the usual story of oops I didnt see it, and its my fault anyway for leaving it outside and not inside the boot. Lesson learned. :cry: (as painful as it may be)

Now I am faced with a problemo. I have a 86.5 Twin Turbo 1g-gte model... with no targa roof. I live in New Zealand, and we do have rain here... (it pounds like hell too) Since driving with an umbrella is not really an option I am off to try to get the parts. I have a few questions first.

1) Do all mk3 (maybe even mk4 (I'l be lucky)) roofs fit on to my model?

2) There is a very good chance that I will not find a roof in the country. What are my options then? I have thought of pannelbeaters around the place but I have no idea how much that will set me back as the roof is a true gonner. Is it possible to get one manufactured, or is that a completely suicidal idea?

Thanks for the answers in advance.

Just the thought of someone driving with an umbrella killed me.

1) Yes they all fit.

2) You're better off getting one shipped by boat. By plane if you can dish out the extra cash. I highly doubt Toyota sells these.... but you never know!

i have a bare one that is damaged, but very fixable. no seals,liner just a bare top. you can have it if you pay shipping. it was sat on by a child and the paint is crappy. it would be a cheap option for a replacement to keep your car dry. it could be bodyworked and painted and look new.

carpeting?? mine has fabric, what kind of carpeting do you have?? maybe someopne replaced mine with fabric and I didn't realize it anyone else have fabric or dose every esle's have carpet? My fabric looks factory.

How about a c.f. top it would be cheaper to ship...
