XJSS, what about ridgidness

[m_steenbrugge]

I've been looking at some XJS-S cars recently. For what I understand it is basicly a XJS with the Paul Banham kit attached to it.

The XJSS kit excist only in convertible AFAIK but the donor XJS'es they use are sometimes coupes. I presume they cut off the roof to make it a convertible but I wonder if everything is still ridgid enough eg structure etc.

Certain types of cars have big structural differences when it comes to comparing a coupe with a convertible.

I also noticed that XJS'es convertibles until '88 are actually a sort of targa. I think they are calles XJ-SC.

Is there any structural difference between a XJ-SC and an post '88 SJ convertible?

So is it just a roof chop or...

Also saw that for the XJSS kit the entire outer en inner skin of the car is removed. Is this right?

There should be a video of how to apply the Banham XJSS kit but couldn't find it anywhere on the net.
