I guess how much you spend on your hard-top resto depends on exactly what
you want at the end.
If your current headliner is OK (or you just don't care that much - mine is
pretty stained!) that's 60 quid saved. If you already have the tie bars on
the hard-top, and you either have the rear moulding or you don't care about
it (purely cosmetic piece) that's another 50 quid - your parts cost is
already below half. Save a bit more by using bolts you already have (I use
the same bolts for the rear fixing and the tie bars that I use to fix the
soft-top) and that's probably at least another tenner off the list.
Yes, if you want it perfect it probably will cost the #550 that Mike
estimated. If you want it to do the job adequately and look OK then you can
manage, I'm sure, spending very significantly less.
Then again that's easy for me to say - apart from a nicotine-stained liner
mine was in fine condition when it came with the car, so all I've had to buy
have been front and rear fixing bolts!
