i have a 56 oval and was thinking of conveerting it to a rag top ,is this a wise move and are kits available or has any one got one or know of one

Someone ???? ....herbie down under....empi.... had a goldie top for sale.

unless u get an origional GOLDI sunroof section DONT DO IT u will regret it

I agree with Dave, if the oval is in really good nick and has a perfect roof section, I wouldnt do it. Find an oval with a dented roof and do it to that one.
Or better still if can find a Indian Red Oval in Melbourne, (I sold it last year) it was already half done. With a Golde roof that only needing welding in.

No Goldes for sale here. I am currnetly fixing the one I have up. No way am I selling it.

Hi David,
Welcome to the Forum.

I'd listen to these guys, this is good advice.

If you listen to me I'd say chuck in a 3 inch lift kit, super digger tyres, cut back those annoying guards, bonnet and engine shroud as the creek crossings will rip them off anyhow. But even I know better than to chop up an Oval so I won't tell you to do all that until you prang it.

Have you got some pics posted of it yet?

david,
i will be doing this to my '56 oval as soon as i hav purchased the ragtop clip from a certain forum member,
i'll let u know how it turns out.
my advice beforehand would be, find someone u really trust to do it or someone who has done one before.
u dont want to ruin an Oval, that would be sacrilegious!:jesus

Where you get your clip from i have a few debts in my 56's roof and plan on going down this route myself. wouldit be cheeky to ask how much you paid so know what am looking at......... email me at bugboymatt@hotmail.com if ya not want everyone to know...... cheers mate

My Golde is still for sale!
