Convert a 2+2 to a 2 seater - discuss.

[gav240z 2,543]

I'm curious to see how the finished product looks.

Even though I think the 2+2 shape is fine, I've always been tempted to massage it a bit more aggressively to a slightly more aggressive rear rake..

As the cost of 2 seaters goes up, I suspect more will try this "hot rodder" method.

Splitting hairs but I think that the thread title should read "convert a 2+2 to more resemble a 2 seater" if the back seat is not to be removed (!) Or is it?

Irrespective, am reading this thread with interest. Especially as I would have expected the quarter windows to be altered. I once read somewhere where someone suggested swapping the quarter windows over L to R and inverting them. Or maybe alter the frames to a longer version of the 2-seater windows and have fixed glass made.

I resurrected this old thread because it’s where the idea originated.  The idea of inverting and swapping the rear windows is in an earlier post, but my intent isn’t so much to make it look like a 2 seater as to streamline it and reduce the sharp hunchback.  If I can get it certified with the reduced headroom then it will retain the rear seats.

I’ll try getting a profile picture, but until it’s finished the photos probably won’t do justice to what is in person a really nice shape.
