February 10, 2007 - We've planned on running a hardtop right from the beginning.
While it would be fun to run as a convertible, we know what the weather in Newfoundland can be like in September! We'd want a top of some sort, and a hardtop with a Lexan rear window is lighter than a soft top. It's also more aerodynamic.
So here it is, our hardtop. It's a little hammered, with chunks missing from the paint and a shattered rear window. As part of a hardtop shuffle, I'm going to end up painting a white hardtop blue and a black hardtop white. It doesn't make sense until you see the pristine, perfect white hardtop beside our damaged black one! The white hardtop is going on a street car instead. |
