Tackled the top yesterday
I swapped out my old top for a cheapo eBay unit this weekend and it all it took about 4 hours. Which included a 12 pack of beer, finding 1 dog and returning it to it's owner, a cigar and a few other sidetracks. All in all not bad, my girl friend who has never worked on a car pretty much handled the passenger side if that gives you an idea

Wow
Looks great, you make it seem like it really was not that big of a job. Pelican compares it to pulling the engine in terms of difficulty. Can I ask why you decided to not go with a rear glass window ?

I was on the fence. Here was my brake down.
Plastic Benefits -Better visibility -Cheaper -Easier engine access -Lighter Glass benefits -lasts longer -better resale |
Great job and you earned my respect! Replacing a top is one big ol' mean job.

Plastic Benefits
- top looks tons better Great job! |
Wow. Great job. The canvas is perfectly smooth. That looks better than mine which was installed by a pro.
|
Glass looks classy but weighs about 10 lbs. more.... Nice job.

Can I borrow your girlfriend to help do my top as well :D
May I can get my girlfriend and yours to do the entire job and we can just sit back and work on beers.;) What would you say was the hardest part of the job? I have to do mine soon as well and I have been debating the options, sewing in a new plastic window or a new glass top or new plastic top. I like the visibility of the plastic top so I'm leaning on going that route as well. Your's turned out perfect and it looks great with your blue paint. Brand/link to the top you used? What instructions did you follow, set that came with top, Pelican etc? |
Wow, that's impressive. I've taken the top assembly off and swapped with another forum member but replacing the skin its laborious.
|
nice job !
