finally getting the roof done on my buggy, went to the trimmers this morning to take a look at progress.


Roof bars modified so I have better head room and rear view improved


Working on the rear screen zips


Hopefully get some more pics next week on progress

Picked up the buggy today......Bromsgrove auto trimmers did a fantastic job.


It has a larger rear screen, this has zips either side so I can roll up the window. There is a gutter too just incase I get caught out in a shower.




I can even drive it with the side windows in place at 60mph



Think the family approve.

Done a bit of work on her today. Finally found some better looking hinges for my roof.
This is what I started off with. Bear in mind I made this stuff when I was on a CNC training course over 25 years ago  :D



Came apart very easily.



Fitted the new hinges by drilling new holes and securing with screws.



Very much improved in looks I think.





Thanks to J Clarke Marine for the hinges.
