Hi Miller, bought one last year with the rest of my bits . As an aside I just tried my hand at fibreglassing for the first time ever today fixing a crack in the pop top roof on the campervan. That was fun, lying on my back balancing on the windscreen and working upside down trying to put that sticky shit on while it drips all over me. Done now though, see how it goes after it cures.miller wrote:Wow sure was shagged. Are you glassing a new one yourself or have you got one lined up?

Cool! Do you have any YouTube of your music? I'd like to hear that didgeridoo.

Re: Rolly's 76 Soft top
Nah, can't breath through my nose so that kills the circular breathing thing you need to play the didge properly. I should record a "sponsored by wild turkey" session on the piano tho for posterity's sake tho. I'll put it on here.RiverPatrol wrote:Cool! Do you have any YouTube of your music?

Re: Rolly's 76 Soft top
Fibreglass front end bolted in to the inner guards and the main support. Not as hard as I'd thought. Outer guards will be a more interesting proposition. Thinking I'll start at the firewall, mate up with the front end then straighten the inner guards to suit. Though if someone has a better way I'm all ears.
