Sounds fair, does that include anything else like the tension straps as I have been told these should really be done when a new roof is fitted.

Considering a good 2nd hand roof is £350 ish I think that sounds like a bit of a bargain. Mind post pics up once its done.

Tension straps can only be changed with the hood off the frame,it's one of those 'whilst I have it in bits' things.

It may be a while as I'm at the "thinking about it stage" but it would be nice to have done for the summer. Hopefully within the month need to check if there is power in the garages in our new offices as I will then get them to come to me.

Will also loan them a camera to take photos.
dont think about spending the money just spend it
