Targa Top Restoration
Who is the best to send a top to be completely restored properly ? we are in the middle of a major restoration on a 75 Carrera and need some help with this decision.
Thanks, Mike Bruns

diy top
Do it yourself. Buy a kit from Pelican, take your time. I did mine, came out great, but took a while to do. Lots of alignment of parts, but can be done if you are mechanically inclined, clean and careful and pay attention to detail. Dan does great work, but no big mystery to recovering a top, it's not rocket science. There are quite a few posts on Pelican regarding top recovering and alignment. It was a fun project for me, very rewarding.
