Salloon targa top

[adh]

Hi to all. Only just realised this Forum exists, despite being a long time member.
After owning a couple of convertibles ( amongst hundreds of other minors) I decided I wanted to have a bash at a targa roof.
I wasn't too happy with the stability of the convertible and wanted something a bit more practical.

I bought a scruffy, but very solid 2 door with no history a couple of years ago and after a lot of thought got stuck in and cut a big hole in the roof.
I think the hole is just right and I have already made up slot-in stainless hoops to throw a canvas over.

Unfortunatelly I havent had time to iron out all the fixing details on the canvas yet, so I can only go out in guarenteed sunshine. Of course we have a lot of that!

Will see about getting a photo up when I have it all finished, but in the mean time-

Has anybody got a beyond-repair saloon that I could use the roof off to make a hard top cover for rainy days. I would either jigsaw out the panel, or I could take the whole car away if so desired.

Ideally I could do for it to be no more than about 50 miles from Oldham/Manchester and cheap.

Thanks

How much of the roof do you need?

I've still got the roof from the traveller hedge find if it is any use, which you can have for nowt. I'm almost double your 40 miles, but it's there if you need it.

There is some damage above the b pillar, but let me know and I'll send photo's if you need them.

This might be usefull for my canvas top as I'm looking to stich in a rib pannel along the front to fasten it down firmly to the frame, so a section of roof would be good for this, but I will still need a salloon roof for the hard top.
If you can give me a call on 07725226494, or alternatively leave me your number to call if you prefer.
Cheers!

Many years ago Chris Street carried a very nice conversion which would be worth having a look at.

Sorry no details but JLH may have a contact for Chris.
