Being as it was all going so well, thought it was about time to pull it all apart again… :lol:

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Full respray and new top. About time to get rid of the crap paint job and cracking filler.

It’s not too bad, apart from the rear centre of the roof, which has been badly filled instead of straightened out.

cool, will you paint the roof anyway and then decide if it's getting a new vinyl top? at least then the roof's fully painted/protected if it does go under new vinyl.

It’s definitely getting a new top, I already have it. I know they divide opinion and some aren’t keen, but I like them.

As for the paint, I had factored in panting it and then adding the roof, for the same reason, but I’m talking to some classic car companies in the area about it, as I only want this done once and right. I’m told that the adhesive won’t take if not done correctly and the last thing I want is moisture trapping.
