Hard top - soft top

Post by biff » Sun Nov 10, 2013 2:44 pm

Hi all,
My lid is getting to the point where it’s not nice in the rain L, so it’s either a soft top or hard top.
Does anyone know of anyone in Christchurch who does soft tops, and what are hard tops going for these days?
Cheers all

Over the past month or two the hard tops on Trade Me have been $800 for those needing repairs and then painting. The good ones have been selling for $1100 upwards. Cant help with ChCh enquiries as Im in Ak. Good luck with decision...
IMO.... Go for a soft top as its summer time now and keep your eyes peeled for a hardtop at your leisure. :idea: you have all options covered then and your head also.

Now is a time (I would think) Hardtops should be coming down in price, they will increase again headed into next years winter.

Good luck with the search..

No use to Ian once it's a fully dedicated race car,.....and it's had a new bit of panel and paint.
