Well, in light of the dismal valuation news on the Disco, I'm still thinking about chopping it. However, I have some questions for those who have done it already.
Firstly, how much is it going to cost us? If we decide to buy it back, this will probably not be a DD...more of a weekend fun-type truck. It might be mine for a while first, but then we'll use it driving around town in nice weather, maybe taking down to the OBX, etc. So we need to kind of do it "on the cheap." We'd probably be able to do stuff like welding the cage ourselves, if we can get a welder rented.
Second...how long could it take us? We have limited time until the onset of winter. We don't want to have a half-finished project car sitting around. We can put a tarp on it or something when we're not working on it, but it'd be best to have it caged and covered ASAP.
Third...what's it like having a soft-top car? Does it get really cold? Is it louder? Is it less secure? Again, granted, this would be more of a fun car, but nonetheless...
I might have more later, but for now...
