Has anyone done this?

Has anyone taken the the trunk hinges out of a vert and used them in a coupe? I was looking around at a local yard today and they intrigued me. I was just curious.

Been done a couple of times. Requires some welding so it scares a lot of people off.

I tried it... but I figured buying a 'vert was more fun.

Came with a folding top too... neat-o!

I've got a set laying around because I wanted to do this. All it would take is bolting the vert hinges to your trunk then welding the other end on your car. It's been a while since I looked but it's pretty simple once you have the hinges in your hand.
