ian thanks for the advice on the place in birkenhead but they were a complete waste of time, they booked me in, very reluctant to keep my car indoors overnight then 3 days before the job they phoned and said we doubled booked you

 

its now booked in at another place on the wirral and is going in tomorrow! so new roof soon!

So you won't be recommending them to cabriolet club members then.

 

no i would not lol, i used a place in birkenhead called car and marine connection they got the hood from carhoodwarehouse and the quality and fit is perfect! i will post up some pictures later!

I had a quote today for £400 for a new mowhair hood fully fitted, I think I will be treating the old girl to a new hood and I think I even have a buyer for mine, which isn't ripped just looks patchy.

 

The guy is in Blackpool and has been going for absolute years, also well into his Fords.

Im going to need a new roof but not just the material. The handle on the passenger side has completely sheared off meaning I can't event close it properly. Any one have any ideas where the hell I might be able to get one of those from?

That's not a bad price at all, if our budget had stretched that far it'd have been a far less stressful solution to fitting the German Ebay roof myself! The fit & quality was great from there (verdeckprofi.de I think they're called) but I'm not sure the sweat and hassle was worth the 200 quid saving over a mohair one fitted by those in the know! (I even had to make my own tension cables from stage rigging gear money was that tight!)

 

Can't wait for spring now when we can actually start exercising those roof catches again :biggrin:
