I can't remember who it was who said that they'd restored their hardtop - but they said that they should have just tried to find a secondhand one because it was so expensive for all the seals. Mike possibly?
Which bits were so expensive? I can't find ones that are much more than about 10 quid each. The reason I ask this is because I've talked my uncle in to doing up my hardtop (come on, you didn't think I would be doing it?!? :) ) - mostly everything is ok, except for the terrible surface rust, dents and discoloured paint (there are patches of white! on whats ment to be pimento!) on the steel of the top. I'm not sure what he is going to have to do with it - weather or not he's going to rip out the headlining or perhaps the windows whilst he's working on it - and of course the respray (which Im getting done professionally through a mate of his). I imagine it would be best that the hardtop was stripped of everything before the respray. I don't want him to destroy anything of value - I don't mind replacing certain things so it looks nice and new. Although I can't see in the Rimmers catalogue where the material that goes around the back of the window on the inside are... I think Richard mentioned that he couldn't find a supplier of this a while ago though... Anything else we should know about before taking the thing to peices? ttfn, James 1977 Pimento Red Spit /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
