I've recently acquired a Dinky Vitesse with a damaged roof. I plan to restore/remodel it as a convertible I once owned.

The glazing is shot although I'm hoping the windscreen section may be salvageable.

If it isn't what is the best way/material to make a replacement - is clear plasticard best and will and how is best to fix it to the shell?

I didn't think they would be available - brilliant site , thank you. I see some more junk box restorations coming up.
