[WA] seeking soft top installation help/advice

Postby systmoveride » Sun Jul 29, 2018 2:26 pm

Hey all

Any tips or help in Perth for skinning a soft top frame? Got a cheap ebay top from the US to get me by for the time being, plus a blank frame, but I'm just having trouble putting the two together, any tips or help in t he Perth area would be greatly appreciated!

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Thanks guys, I was hoping to get the top on the frame while on uni break but it never happened due to the weather and work commitments so I think it will be a slow job that I'll do when I have time, in the meantime, definitely looking in to a Lightyear Hardtop hahaha

I did mine with the frame in the car. Big pain in the arse but a challenge is good I guess.
