Your car just gets better and better Sean wish I had the funds for the day it's for sale. That's the day my heart will truly be broken! ( goes off sobbing and looking for a Guinness) JIM

I also addressed the radiator, the corroded top really draws my eye, tried my best to clean it up but still not happy so decided to paint it mat black, gave it a coat of acid etch first

It's the small attention to detail that's makes the biggest difference mate. Looks great and I know exactly what your saying. Doesn't matter what you use or how many times you try that rad top just won't come up. Good work pal. :thumbsup:

Got started on the hardtop top today, removed the headliner and seals, my windscreen guy is coming tomorrow to remove the rear window and if all goes well I'll be painting it on Sunday,
I'm also planning on spending some time adjusting it tomorrow as I want a perfect fit, any tips @Antm72 , I see most of the adjustment is on the location pegs
A big thanks to Rob, @mrscalex for meeting me half way with it.

Really keen to hear about the rear window, ours needs resealing as it weeps in the top corner.

I don't! He's going again, in 2 days to make all of our hardtop look like they are made of pocky cheese painted over by a 5 years old with a rattle can. I hate him ;-)

The Silver one is currently in for welding on the battery tray.

The 1.9 Blue has no seats in at the moment as I’m refurbishing them and sorting out the bushes.

So the Blue 2.8 will be having an outing. Just decideding on weather the hardtop will be in use or not lol.
