1963 Ragtop


My 63 ragtop has been a up hill struggle since late 2009.

But after years of graft by my mate Mark.
Got to drive it for first time Thursday night.

Stoked.

Valla here we come. Fingers crossed.

Thanks guys.
I haven't had time since valla to drive the rag , but looking forward to getting it out the garage as soon as the weather improves down here.

I have found another rag this time a 61 50/50 model.
So when time and money permits I will start on a tough callook project

lowered the rag a little at the back and bought the front up a touch since Valla,
had nice weather today so got the roof open and popouts and cut some laps:cool:

everything has been going good, so fingers crossed it stays that way, got the 58/59 sunvisors both in this week, and have few things on the list to do.

Hi the beam is a dub beam narrowed 4in fresh steel with 2 1/2in dropped spindles.
Tried and tested route.

Loving getting out with the roof open.

Think I'll go for drive:no:
