A few things to think about. The Celica is a unibody car and the roof is part of the frame. Cut the roof out and the only thing connecting the front end to read will be the floor. Targa cars come from the factory with extra bracing to make up for this, and are designed to take an impact with no roof. Cut the roof out of a car where the roof is designed to be attached and you'll lose a lot of handling and I'd hate to see that car get in an accident. Then you have to worry about weather seals, water drains, etc. It won't be a cheap or easy thing to do. There are several threads on 6gc covering targa tops, but nothing more than speculation. I'm sure other forums have a lot more information on how it's properly done.
