Sorry if this comes in as a double posting. I've been getting odd messages
from my email app. Anyway, I've been meaning to ask a few surry top
questions and this seems like the perfect time to do it...
Some years back I picked up a nice surry top with the intent of converting
my '65 TR4A, but stopped short when I discovered that it was not designed to
be installed and removed like a hard top. (Door gasket is one looooong
piece, etc.) I liked the idea of the surry top for winter driving, but it
seems like I'd want to be able to remove it for summer driving.
Question 1: Will I be sorry that I have the surry top on the car for summer
driving?
Question B: Has anyone attempted a seasonal install/remove configuration
with one of these?
Question IV: I had hoped that the soft-top / surry top mounting systems
would be the same and the surry top would be a simple bolt on installation.
What was I thinking??? Does anyone have any conversion tips?
Question 8: Sort of a follow on to Question 1... I would love to hear from
others that have either done this conversion or driven plenty of 4's with
and without surry tops. If you had a nice surry top with all the bits in
your garage, would you do the conversion? I really like the look of the car
with the surry top, but I own the car to drive it, sans top. I just want to
be sure I won't feel like I'm driving a Fiat X1/9 with the top panel
removed...
Thanks,
--Jeff
