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!

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,
try to upload your picture to this website
http://tinypic.com/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.
