As soon as I replace the battery in the S (hopefully it will be here today) it is on to replacing the top. Not a job I look forward to

You are a brave man I wouldn’t want to tackle replacing the top.

I don't really want to but I haven't found anyone locally to do it.

I replaced mine on the MG in 2016 and swapped frames for a better one. It really was a two man job to do right with the stretching and power stapler.

This weekend looks like it'll be rough weather so I might carry on insulating and lining the back wall of the garage building. I'm also working from 22:00 Saturday to 07:00 Sunday, so Sunday will be a write-off.

Have got the old material off. Time to take a rest.

I have decided that if it ever needs another roof and I can't find someone to do it I will either sell the car or junk it! This is too much work for an old guy like me!!

Sorry to remind you but like most things, taking it apart is the easy part.

I was thinking the same thing when I read your post but didn’t want to say anything.

Heading off to Kelleys Island (in Lake Erie) tomorrow to visit my son and his family. They spend a week up there camping every year.

The top can wait!
