As title.

Slight modification to roof....

 

And yay..

Exhaust blow aside, along with some slightly soggy bushes / dampers it's drives ok (as described). Showed 33mpg on drive home with roof up. 

Nuclear heater and comfy worn old leather seats. Going to drive everywhere with roof down till I can't. Obviously.

If you can find one, the wind deflectors make a huge difference on these.

Love the workshop pic, just trying to identify all the cars

That looks like a serious workshop. Where do the cars all come from or does it work as a business too?

Fire away Dave....let's hear it...😁

It's about a third of the cars there. If you check some of my threads (old obviously) there are some old faces...

Purchases, donations, acquisitions, trades, the trade, me...😁.

Not a garage business, no.

Very impressive. My local college shop only had 1 ramp and space for 2 other cars. Then they closed it years ago.

Good to see that still in the fold and getting some love. Served me very well. Hope you get the roof working properly. As you say the heater’s rather good so you can go topless.

It's manual operation, mostly,

The roof is a bit bent at back and there's a couple of little gaps - but it's locked in place. I will sort a more convenient arrangement for operation (for the rear scuttle lock) or posiibly ignore it completely.

[Three Speed]

Does it still have my electric bodge to lock the back of the roof down?

[red5]

It does indeed.

Is that a Renault Fluence in the back ground in front of the Porsche?

[red5]

Yep. Good spot .

[Lord Sterling]

Nice. I like the Fluence. I wouldn't mind one, is it an Irish import? They weren't sold here, bloody loads in Turkey though.
