Hard top anyone?
Mr Whippy - 20/2/08 at 12:27 PM

Does anyone make a hard top that fits the locost or MK's indi? I was thinking if not then I might make something to do the job. Sounds like fun.

I have some (what I think are) good ideas so that it would be as useful to as many people as possible and it would include doors.

I think MNR had a pop.

Also donkeywort and possibly fluke motorsport, but that may have been a lotus 340r one.

hmm that does look quite nice, but I meant a roof that was designed to fit the indi and book chassis

I was going to build a roof on my car but a-la MR2 with targa type panels that could slide behind the seats when not in use.

someone with a black MK showed pictures of his hard top on the car but who was it?!

(think it was an mk?)

I wonder why

And the RHOCar boys do it again

Been around for a while this thread but if you read most of it and not just look at the pics of an excellent job you will get the idea of the problems of making a standard hard top for a car built by individuals. You can really only make them bespoke as all our cars are just a little different, different enough to make a few mm difference mean that the standard hardtop wont fit.hard top
