[TR] TR2 Hardtop

[Ibsen Dow]

Hi David ,

Your TR2 looks fabulous! I have TR3A that I just finished the restoration
recently. It came originally with a black steel hardtop. I painted it white,
but I have not finished the rest of the top in time for Triumphest. But I plan
to attend Triumphest next week end and I will be looking for your car.

  Hi All - I have finally installed my finished hardtop.  I have posted
pictures
  at:  http://flickr.com/photos/dgunn/sets/72157602881332130/

  They are the last 14 pictures in the set.

  I am not real happy with the glue holding the seal around the waist, but I
am
  an amateur, after all.

  I had previously thought that the waist seal would sit directly on the
body,
  but it appears that it seals by being pulled sideways just under the
capping
  material.  I guess this will leave less of a chance of marking the paint.
If
  anyone has any other thoughts, please let me know.

  I am planning on attending Triumphest next weekend, and will bring the
hardtop
  for all to see, unless it rains.  I don't have side curtains, and don't
care
  to drive with a faceful of rain.
