Default Woohoo! Just bought a...

Hardtop!

Found it locally and right in my price range, $250.00! No glass, trim or weatherstripping, but all the latches and hardware. Had more dirt and spiderwebs on it than anything else. Now to strip it down, fix a small crack and put it back together. I was actually thinking of a plexiglas or, better yet, Lexan rear glass to save weight and get a dark tint.

For those that have them, it appears the headliner was held in with those velcro-like plastic buttons (same as the door panels). Is that correct? I'll give it a close once-over when I get home tonight. :party:

It was priced about right, I was just glad to get one I could afford. This thing is rough as a cobb, but It'll clean up real nice. I did find one real bubba repair in the corner, but nothing I can't fix. Looks like I'll have plenty of room for some insulation under the 'liner as well.

How does one tell what year these things are off of? Mine appears to have been Mulsanne blue originally, but that is just a guess.
