Hey all. Sorry, still swamped, and I decided to follow JBauer's route and ordered trunk hinges and latch for the hardtop to make swapping easier. The stuff should be here in a few days, and I have a friend lined up to do test fitting next week.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely. I just went into it thinking that there was a very good chance the thing never would show up. But Aliexpress has a refund/dispute system, my bank card is another route to get money back, and (this is important) I didn't spend the rent money here! But I really, really wanted a Porsche, a convertible isn't as useful as you might think in Los Angeles, and I was willing to take the chance on this entire project, fully aware that it might be a financial disaster. Your mileage may vary.
Joeyutts, here's the link that the seller just sent to me:

I talked to my boat guy about the moonroof concept. He said, "Dude, I've been a fabricator since 1978. Anything is possible. Bring it by and we'll take a look." He says a removable panel is possible, but now I'm kind of leaning toward a fixed clear panel. We'll see what he has to say.
And Qingdao, I just love the visual image that comes along with that saying ... :dance:
