Too bad I can't like the same post more than once.

Yeah I'm in Tampa area.

How hard is it to get a lost title?

Click to expand...

With a bill of sale super simple

With all the fab and engineering skills that abound around here, it doesn't have to remain a vert... Buy a shell of a hatch or coupe and transplant the top...

Hard top convertible... ? It could be done.

You know I work on convertible tops, right ? I travel constantly...matter of fact, I fly out to Ohio tomorrow...and then VA, back home Sunday. Florida is only a flight away.

Put a Mazda emblem on the mustang...tell'er you met her halfway.

I could see ditching the car if you just hated having a convertible or if a grail car fell in your lap but selling at a loss to build up a 2nd gen rx7...the maths just don't work. Would be cheaper to pay someone else to install a new top for you.

This could be you, Steve:

I know people that have done vin tag swaps for cars they couldn't get titles on.. I would never do that, it's illegal... but just sayin.

Remember me saying I have a parts car lx hatch?

You're gonna get killed on that car if you try to sell it "as is" Steve. There is simply too much going on under that hood that is straight outta your head that would make it seem like a nightmare to figure out for somebody else. (Myself included)

The rest of the car is a backyard painted fox vert w/ a top that leaks...
Everybody that sells the project, regrets selling the project. Trust me when I say this..

Focus on the reason for the decision to move into a different car..Obviously,..an externally loud, obnoxious, high powered smelly vehicle w/ a ton of ancillary NVH as a result of the leaking convertible top, solid, or rigid mounted engine suspension probably has alot to do with it.

I'm already looking for ways to quiet the noisy lizard,..and the wife hasn't even sat in the car while it's running yet.

If it's a quieter/tighter chassis,...You've got guys here ready and willing to point you towards the path of hardtoppeddom,
That alone will fix a large part of the collateral noises. How you deaden/insulate the car beyond that will be next,..lastly exhaust....
find and fix the leaks, and throw the noisy ass mufflers in the trash....
The enjoy having a fast car that you can drive to MW (or wherever) w/o smelling like a muffler, and having to yell the whole way there.

If you go over to the dark side and get a jap car,..you'll be a jap car forum member right after that. You'll be helping wankle weanies figure out their MSII's over there too,...The forum will be like the Star-Quest forum I used to be a member of...
A stickied "kill thread" where you get to brag about beating some other ricer, or domestic vehicle while doing it w/ an engine that goes Hmmmmmmmm.
It'll be boring in a minute.
And,.......You may as well put a big, red, shiny light bulb up on the front of the hood, Cause you wont get to play in any domestic reindeer games. (Like MW,...HR's Power tour,...etc, etc..)
**Regardless of the fact that you have a 347'd/TR 3550'd engine combo under the hood.
Or a twin turbo'd, R blocked 363, backed by glide running through to a shortened 8.8...
To the rest of the yayhoos.....It still was just a jap car.

And,....lastly,..w/ regard to putting a Ford emblem on the Mazda body....Doesn't Ford OWN Mazda?

But,...I already tried that too...look at my sig pic..Ford emblem over a Mitsubishi Tri-diamond.
