I may be in the minority here but I think the westy roof is the best looking of the lot.

It respects the rules of proportion and looks just as good as a tintop.

Here here but on a serious note horses for course, I agree with tricky but when you look at the pros and con of all of them, there's not a lot in it.

Made a bit more progress with the roof, some of the screws are rusted badly and where a bugger to undo.

Sorry for the bad quality pics they looked better on the phone at the time.. must have been the dust in my eyes :lol:

Removed the alloy frame holding the canvas on the roof cap

Roof cap off

Bunks and hoops removed

Roof cap lifting assembly, sadly one of the springs has snapped to will need replacing

After some advise from those with Dorma roofs or that have restored one before.. do I cut the hinge mounting plates out of the roof incase they had gone rusty?

I think as I'm going for a fairly stock look I'm going to replace the canvas with 13mm Red and White Candy like what was on there
