Truck is taking a bit of a back seat at the moment......
Hopefully when I get the Mazda fully sorted out I will play with the truck again.
Well, after quite a lot of convincing I got Nicola to agree to me spending some money I should not...... Buying a used, slightly rough and damaged hard top for Merlin the MX5.
Mate Martin had negotiated a sensible price for the hard top and fitting hardware from a breaker near Ashford, so this afternoon we drove the car down there to fetch the hard top (the easiest way to get it home)
I also bought some extra plastics so that I can store the original tan plastics for when the car eventually moves on.
Got there and the parts were all ready for collection.
Got home after driving back, and have to say, the top makes a huge difference to both sound and also temperature.
Washed the car, and then T-Cut the roof followed by some serious polishing, getting the paint looking and feeling a lot better.
Nicola is still in two minds about the colour choice..... the roof will be repainted, so do we do it in Black like the rest of the car, or do I stick to the two tone Silver and Black with silver wheels, or change the roof to an anthracite/gun metal grey along with the wheels in the same colour?????
Opinions and viewpoints please.....
