[Spridgets] Warwick hardtop arrived...picts......

[Linda Grunthaner]

It is a stunning top and I will have to be very careful with her
restoration. Looking at it I see the hardest part will be removing the
screws that hold the metal frame to the fiberglass. I will update the photo
but you will see how impossible it is to remove.

I see this top will have a garage of her own and only taken out on rare
occasion because she is so fragile. But being she arrive wearing only bubble
wrap maybe I should just treat her normally ...wink.  Actually I am just
afraid of a tree branch falling on it while parked. I am very lucky the rear
plexy glass and side windows have no cracks, the only other one on eBay I
have ever seen was missing all 3 pieces.
