Help needed with component form roof
Discussion
Hi. I have an S1 which has its roof in component form. I'm in Teesside and looking for someone to either put it together or advise / help me install it.
All parts I believe are in very good condition (not like the rest of the car when I purchased it!)
The material has been removed from the main hoop.

Joe's yer man!
I warn you, he can be roofless!
He has removed a perfectly good roof and fashioned a revolutionary folding roof in component form to present to his lucky trimmer, who is probably called Dave.
Most of them are called Dave.
If you're not sure how yours goes together Mick, just ask any Dave.
I think assembling it to the car is pretty self explanatory, but getting the fabric to sit evenly tensioned is a bit of a black art.
And you need glue. Lots and lots of glue. However, keeping that from going everywhere is also pretty tricky.
I got covered in the stuff just covering my Alan's Roof Stowage Enclosure with carpet.
Have you got all the seals to fit as well?
If you want any pictures taking, just ask. Or ask Ian ( m & s ) if you want to copy a nice S1.
Good luck.
Edit: To get you started, here's a rough idea of how it should look:
