Well finally it’s rained
Cropping is finished
And found some time away from the footy club
And it was 8c outside while raining so into the shed I went today
Gee it had been a long since I was in the shed with the fire going and the music going, it’s the simple things in life that are often the best
So the time has come to build this rag top since I got my cover from Gordon a month or so back
So I wanted to give the area where rails sit a coat of ankor wax and ended up doing the whole roof
Got the rails installed a rag top bit slid into place
Now the fun really dose start, watched a few YouTube clips so hopefully I can get the cover installed next time I’m I’ve got some time in the shed

Another step closer Brad. I think this will be your fair weather bus with that ragtop.

What’s the eta on the motor, is it getting close?

Looking amazing mate. And to think you wanted to save that shitty roof originally.

Finally got back in the shed late this arvo and tonight to continue on with my rag top
After consulting with cooper on his burnt 23 window I had the rails on wrong side and wrong way
No biggie just 1 step forward 2 steps back
So after rectified that was got onto the tension strap both side and then finally the top
Pretty happy with how tight and firm it is
Still a few more screws to go in before it’s finished but hopefully the hard part is done
Nearly a job done that I’ve been putting off for sometime
