Victoria British Sells a Convertible top boot for $149.95 that claims to fit
71-80 Spitfires. As for the dash, I recall an add in British Car magazine from
a company that makes custom wood dashes for Spitfires (among other things).
While I'm at it, the FAQ for the list said I was supposed to introduce myself.
Fine. I'm fixing up a 1974 Spitfire 1500, and I have a question about getting
my car painted. What is a fair price to pay for a good job? and where in the
Bay Area should I get it done? Near my office, "Cologne" Auto Body, which was
filled with Lotus's (Loti?) and Ferarris guestimated $3k for a complete strip
and paint. This cars last paint job cost $300! I'd like to go for something in
between. Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks,
