So, crazy question I know, but can coupe doors be mounted on a MGA roadster? I've got the factory hard top, and I was just wondering if that would work, thereby giving me roll up windows.

Was this post helpful or interesting?

No. It would require great modification of the windscreen, and the door latches and B-pillars are different.

There are a few cases of hybrids, usually a coupe with the roof removed to make a drop head coupe or a Coupe with removable hardtop. I recon it's a lot easier to cut the top off a Coupe (DYI convertible) than to install Coupe doors on a roadster
