Message The only real change to a 1993 Z32 convertible for instance, vs, a 1993 TT, which I tore up, is the big frame buttruss between the rear shock towers, and some big bolt-on plates behind each seat, for rigidity.

The front end/under dash, I've had the guts fully out on both, I saw no changes. I believe the front frame of a coupe is the same as a convertible.

I even modified my cross-tube, you know, the 1.5" tube that goes from one side to the other, and supports the dash? I modified the center part: stereo holder/legs that are made of thin sheet metal and made them out of like, 1/4" plate--which is permanently welded to the tube, and they bolt to the tranny tunnel. Very stiff attachment now.

Helped alot with cowl shake on the vert, but did not eliminate it.
