Hi everyone couple more pics ,finished sanding now, done some fibreglassing today nearly ready for paint ,

yes iam the dusty one :lol:

 

[martyboy]

Hi guys just a few photos of todays little bits ,when i took the rear section off the roof i discovered rust around the screw holes .Because the roof had rusted a little i decided to weld in some inserts .
little bit overkill some mite say but they have a nice M8 thread in the middle lot better than a self tapper .
see pics

just need to cut some rubber blocks when i refit for the correct height

 

[martyboy]

HI again been busy roof now on ,just some minor adjustments to carry out .

sprayed it thursday with some white left over from a digger we sprayed fitted the canvas saturday .

Looking good there, very good idea with the nice wood trim around the poptop.

 

[martyboy]

Thanks mate used some hardwood not to keen on the staples ,although there been there since 71 lol.

Want to do mine soon, any advice on prep and painting?
Cheers Paul.
