hi, i have taken a look at the DIY tutorial and the pictures seem to be in black and white so its not very clear. not even sure where to get the replacement screen. was wondering if someone on here was breaking one and was willing to sell me the complete roof :) Asam The tutorial I have seen is a s...

Hi, there is an excellent tutorial on the internet for a DIY fit if your interested. It does seem to take about 6 hours to do so could be expensive.

Hi, I have two spare tickets for this years show if anyone wants them. £3 entry feels such a bargain for a great event. Over 500 cars expected.

Hi, my car is now up for sale. Looking for £1800. Amazing history and only 70k miles. If interested give me a pm

Hi, I have now resorted to a manual operated roof after much deliberation. I still have all the motors etc (just disconnected). I heed the horse shoe to close approx another 20mm. Is there an adjustment on this operation?

Cheers,

Well that's dalemain booking done. Roll on the 17 th August.

Hi mate, I bought on from halfords. Got to say well worth the £50 or so I paid. Kept all the winter weather off my cab last year.
Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention, Brian this is exactly why I joined this forum. Good quality information and sensitive to the owner and car. Thankyou

Flute.

Thankyou very much for your reply. Your absolutely spot on with your explanation. It's right in the corner and behind it there is a mastic type sealant. It's easy to chop out and get a plate welded in. Job for winter along with rear arches, lower doors and a new d/s front wing. Then it's bodywork co...

Hi, just had a small hole appear in the corner of my scuttle right in the corner by the passenger side. What are my options to fix please? No other rust appears on the rest of the panel, just a hole an inch round

Flute.

Help required please gents, I have been approached by someone wanting to buy the cab but I have no idea of value. Roof could do with replacement, arches will need repaired at some point and possibly a lower wing repair. All in all around £1000 to make perfect. How much do you think she is worth? Flu...

Thanks for the comments gents, it does need a little piece of work to make it how I would want it but it's just too good to start stripping down atm. It will be on show in our local classic show in a fortnight so I will post up some photos afterwards.

Good point but I have just returned from an amazing spin around the lakes. I will post a few pickies.
In the mean time check out my photos in the newbie section.

Well woke up this morning to a fantastic sunny day. Even a little heat in the wind. So roof down and off for s spin in the old girl.
Don't know why I didn't do this purchase 10 years ago.

Flute.
Ps
Any one else feeling the same, if so please post some fantastic photos here.

Hi, I need to replace my cab roof and was after an approx. cost to remove and replace with new? How many hours would you expect it to take?

Cheers,
Flute.

I have secured 16 places at this years fastlane car show on the 11th may. Anyone interested?

Flute.

Thankyou s38b38, i think I've found a keeper here. It runs very sweet and although it will need improved over winter there is a lot of good years left in her. Drove her today with the roof down for the first time and it was brill, in fact it was the first time I have driven a cab in my life.

Hi, finally had time to post a photo of my e30 design cab in neon blue. It it starting to take shape now the weather is picking up.

Hi I am needing to replace my e30cab roof. Does anyone have any ideas on which company to use?

Cheers,

Hi, I have now plucked up the courage to press the roof button today on my cab. How very disappointing at was. Totally no movement of said roof. Is there anyone who can point to a few things for me. The motors don't even make a noise.

Hi can you please let me know where this price comes from. The best I had was £175 each.

Cheers,

I've just put one in blue back on the road after 5 years in storage. Only got 70k miles and the interior is as new(honestly it's amazing). I've ran it most of today and are presently surprised as to the feel of the car. Well chuffed once and all I need now is the roof sorted. I will post photos once...

Thankyou for the fast response gents, I will take a look at those areas tomorrow weather permitting.

Hi, I have just managed to get my e30 cab on the road. Now I'm finding that it had a blown fuse in slot 17 (electric windows). I replaced the fuse several days ago and it's blown once again.
Any ideas as to the fault, sorry for scant information.

Flute.

I will post a few photos soon. I am really chuffed so far. It's always a gamble with a car that's 20odd years old. It only needed a new set of brakes and a sensor for the mot.

Flute.

Well I have just driven the e30 cab for the very first time and must admit I'm really impressed. It is easy to drive, feels very tight for a 23 year old with only 70k on the clock. Can't wait to get the roof sorted for summer. It hasn't sen a road for over 5 years so all is well.
Happy dayz.
