    Vert Hardtop Storage

    I'm trying to figure out a way to store my hard top at my house instead of my mom's garage ~100mi away. I would like to hang it in my shed because the floor is full of parts. I think hanging it on its side on the back wall will save the most space without blocking the light in the center of the shed on the rafters.

    Anyone have a good setup or idea to share? (pics are a plus)

    I refuse to believe that no one has a rig for hanging theirs.

        This is how I do.. on pedestals so no pooping rats or spiders can hide out and suprise me when I needs it.

          I am putting together a stand that i made from Home Depot (as seen on hoistlifts). cost about $30.
          also realoem shows a lift (pic below) that seem it can be made from going to homedepot and harbor freight. looks neat but i will have to do some test tries to see how secure those holes are to secure top. also can look into this website.

            MacGyver has to ask questions like this? The man who makes bombs of bubble gum?

            Following that picture above seems easy to recreate.

                Hard top

                I have the exact car in winter storage. How hard is it to find a hard top? I cracked my rear window closing it in freezing weather... Suck job.

                  E30 Hardtops have bags.

                    check the F/S section and have your checking account ready. they go for $1,000 give or take.
