Nice score, looks like you even got the matching color! You should get the spinlocks asap if that is your daily driver, bumps and body flex while you drive I think you'll want to make sure it is secured all around front and back.

But the person I had to cooridnate the transaction with apparently was hired to sell some of his stuff but couldn't transport the top (wouldn't fit in her SUV), so I had to pick it up. I had to take a ferry ride to get it, but it was very enjoyable trip! The top was encrusted with years of grime, but washed up nicely...
As you can, see just two days later, I'm putting it to very good use! (This car is daily driven and parked outdoors):
Although my main motivation for picking up the top was purely for practical reasons, (the color ocean blue metallic is not a completely perfect color match to my car's lapis blue) I am surprised to like the way it looks as much as I do!
I still need to pick up a set of spinlock adapters to get it properly mounted, so if anyone has a used set of those they could sell to me (without completely breaking the bank on this $250-top  ) please let me know! |
