No vist to the workshop this weekend but I still managed to get some work done.
The hard top has been coming together in the living room.
I started with the 2 glass panels and the shape derived from those parts.
I have been measuring as best as I could but there was no way to tell how I was doing. So I lugged it downstairs. ( I live in a flat) and for the first time I could guage how I was doing.
The front located on and the catches, lined up and locked on.
The rear however needs a little adjusting. Its sitting about 8mm too high and this is leaving a gap on the trailing edge of the side windows.
This in turn has resulted in the rear window isn't sitting as I intended.
But nothing that cant be adjusted and re- glassed.
Considering the heath robinson way its been made i am quite happy.
After all so far it has cost me £60 and it transforms the visibility compared with the soft top up.
Sunroof panel fits snuggly in the boot when not being used.
I will soldier on.
As Paul stated last time the drivers side is taking shape.
So another visit to the paint program to mock up the overall shape.
Im planning on taking the lamps apart and blacking out the surrounds. It will tie them into the rear lamps and disguise their origin more.
