Based off of pics of his carport (garage??) and his OTM, this isn't so bad.

I mean, his other car is decorated with segments of jump rope across the windshield. They see me rollin'...

I'm amused by the condition of the roads there and that the car appears to have 17" wheels. Who wants a sports car in the jungle?

Would you rather see the guy doing the hellaflush crap instead?

He probably has to drive two hours to find a paved road and couldn't get a hold of new softtop to save his life.

I say he should be proud of the work he has done. Anybody can buy a part for their car...well, unless you live in a hut in the jungle with high speed internet. Good for him.

Could be worse, he could have built a tiki bar style top for it.

I've thought many times about using a nice cage to build a hardtop into. Just very basic skin over cage.

I have far more important and neglected projects though.

Kudos for working with what he has available but I find it a bit odd that he lives in the jungle with ruts for roads and has the internet.

The wing is retarded, but the rest looks okay. Looks almost like a soft top.
