1) The conversion would be quite difficult, since the overall length of the roof line is different between the targa and the hardtop. In other words, the conversion would involve much more bodywork than simply cutting and welding at the mounting points for the targa.
2) In the US at least, the hardtop is a more rare, and therefore more valuable model. It's lighter, and the overall chassis is stiffer, which generally makes it a better 'sports car'. If at all possible, I'd suggest you reconsider your decision to do the converison.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
