No worries. Checkout other peoples resto pics for a guide. New panels on eBay too. Ask Lou about making your 1600 into a 2 litre stroker.

When you put the body back make sure you replace the old rubbers. These are from Melb

Hmmm how to get the body thats resting on tyres off the tow truck with only two people???
I know! Lets spread washing detergent all over the tray and we can slide it onto dollies. BRILLIANT

On a serious note, i require a soft top for my roadster. Seeming all these parts originate in your part of the world can any of my US compadres give me some input or referrals/links of quality roof supliers. I have the original frame its a bit rusted and beat up but it could be bought back to life. Then i would just need some canvas or alike fabric and a talented trimmer to weave some magic. Other option will be new soft top and frame package. What do you think?

Hi Chris
I actually purchased a soft top for mine from Glenn Jones, Qld.
He also manufactures fibre glass dash pads.
Might be worth dropping him a massage: -
