Title: T2 Drop top Hood?
Post by: Grizzly on September 06, 2003, 02:22:57 PM
Has anyone ever looked into Buying a new Hood for a T2 Convertable?

I am in the prosses of Buying a car that is in need of a new hood (2" cut in roof).

Does anyone know roughly how much they are and who can supply one?

Also if replacing the roof is a Do able job or would it need to be done at a proper Hood place?

Thanks

Chris

how come you keep finding cars that i can never seem to find ???

there is a place in standish that does hoods - but i have NO IDEA what they are called - i spoke to the guys wife once - and he re-hooded ( if thats the word ?? ) - the famous chitty-chitty-bang-bang car

sorry about not knowing the name - but standish isnt that big of a place !!

I had a new hood fitted by Gibson and Turner in South Wales. I phones around a few companies listed in Yellow Pages under Car&Commercial Trimmers. They could all get hold of the rear section of the RX7 roof and would fit. Mine cost about £300 fitted and I\'m happy with it - it\'s even water tight!

It was an entirely new hood with the exception of the hard top section. Phone no. 01495 244638. But, it appears many companies can do it, so I recommend finding someone local in your yellow pages under car&commercial trimmers.

Looking through my bills I found mine had a replacement rear section in Jan 2000.

The company are called Autotrim and are in Reading, I can give you the number if you\'re still looking.

It came to J564 including VAT - ouch!!
