    Nope, not yet, anyway. I'm waiting to hear back from someone and have some other ideas, but . . .

    The front door bottoms are common and can be bought new for little money. The rear doors and both tops are NLA and should be saved. The rear doors especially are rare and sought after by people that want to do soft tops. Even corroded, you can get good money for them in the States. I'm surprised 4 door soft top conversions are not more popular in Australia.

    Convertibles in general aren't popular here because you burn to a crisp in 20 minutes without a roof to protect you from the sun. You could wear long sleeves etc. but then you'd be hot when you stop.

    LOL. You might be surprised to know that it is hot and sunny in other parts of the world.

    Normally what is done with soft tops, is that you leave the top on, roll up the sides and take off the door tops if you don't like the sun.

    I've done that in Canada when it reaches a heady 25c, but it just doesn't work in Oz during usual summer temperatures of 35c and up.
