repro cabriolet/comvertible

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Hi
has anyone chopped the roof off their 480 & made a repro convertible.
I'm thinking of doing it at some point in the future & wondered if anyone had any specific 480 info regarding this.
As there's plenty of room I was considering taking the guts of a bmw z series electic folding roof & making the panels for the 480.
