Thank you Softlips,
Hardtop is now finished after needing some additional strengthening ribs bonded to underside of roof to firm it all up.
re painted and ready for home - I'll post another when I've fitted the rear lexicon screen and fitted on car.

Hi Dave,

It is beginning to come together nicely then

I bet you are getting a bit excited

When does the first fire up take place then, can you see that happening soon ?

Looking forward to seeing it for real sometime.
