Im talking to him about doing a targa top coversion on my thirdgen. If you have enough money and free time you will find someone who is willing to tackle a ttop coversion. Just dont expect a warranty.
I'm not saying this to put down whatever skills your friend has when it comes to working on cars, but converting a 3rd gen hardtop to T-tops is hard enough. Going to a Targa top will require so much additional work (and weight) to stiffen up the chassis of the car that it really isn't worth it.

The 4th gen conversion is easy since all hardtops and t-tops were built with the T-top structure already in place - hardtop 3rd gens on the other hand, do not.
