They Said it Couldn't be Done...

I'd love to have some-one make that for mine
but probably could not afford it

I'll admit to have been monitoring this project with slight scepticism of the finished article but looks like you've nailed it. Great job!

There will be the inevitable snagging eg I'm expecting a few drips in the top corners as mentioned above but that just happens with any prototype. There will be a solution.

I presume these will all be ironed out for the production run then
Great job, looks proper! just the electrics to sort now.

Come on, it wouldn't be a TVR if the electrics were sorted

[glenrobbo]

Don't talk to me about TVR electrics!

Then we all get down with Joe in da hood :-)

Nearer 8, and that's not counting the messing about I was doing last summer. But YES, definitely worth every second. Even if there are any leaks and there is still a bit of snagging to do.

effin brilliant

[v8s4me]

I've drenched it with the hose and left it sitting in the rain for two hours.



Just a few small dribbles near the front of the n/s door above the speaker but I think that was from the hosing and happens when I wash it, so I'm not too concerned about that. So far so good, but the real test starts on Wednesday

Joe

Saw you tinkering with it over the weekend. Ideal day for a water test.

[frankiebfh]

Wow. Great work Joe! I'm impressed...

[magpies]

is there going to be a production model? - would be interested

[magpies]

5 years on - how's it doing?

Have you decided to manufacture them?

It's still firmly attached to the car and keeping the wind and rain out better than the original one

NO!
