Sunroof in Hardtop.

[Rusty Wishbone]

Are you able to post some pics of your home-made hardtop? I didn't think it quite looked like the Kuching unit from your avatar, but the avatar is so small, it might not even be an Elan!

Well that's some response and I'm not a offended by any negative comments ( I'm a bit silly anyway)
I suppose the main reasons for me building a hardtop were
a) My softy is a bit scruffy and leaks.
b) Too tight to spend £1000 inc seals which are crap
c)Our weather meant the hood was perpetually raising/falling ( there is a seal for that)
So I do thank you all for your comments
Buy the way I once ( in my youth) had a Panel welded into a new Vitesse hood it was superb until a vandal slashed it.
The replacement was sewn in and leaked horrendously in-spite of my efforts to seal it ( lost a girlfriend that way)

Watch this space !!!!!!

Pete,
ill be looking forward to seeing it when its complete, im always interested in seeing unique features in our cars (i can see what drives you to consider the idea), are you planning to make this one also white or perhaps paint it red or even black

Hope this is better but I still have problems inserting photo's ( a bit thick)

Still its coming of this weekend ( I hope ).
Just refurbishing the soft top for summer use if we get any.
Wish me luck.

after you upload the picture you will get a list of links to the image.

if you take the link that starts with [IMG]

copy it and paste it into the post, it will put the picture into the message just like the ones i spam all over the place.
