Update of the Vert

[nadodude111]

Put in rear headrests but silver headrest in good condition are so hard to find. Those are the only ones I have found and they are all distorted. Also put on ellipsoids and new top/new tension straps last December. The PO had a bra on the front leaving oxidation so I need to get it detailed to get the hood all one color. Nothing new, I just replaced the front struts with new Sachs-Boge struts. Oh yeah I just got the A/C recharged so I am ready for summer. New OEM CD changer is on the way also!

Looks clean. How much were the elastic straps to get redone?

[nadodude111]

$100 for pair of new straps and $35 installed.

Thank you! I did alot of research and made many phone calls. I also bought the top for $350. It is the german sonnenland material (oem) and then I got it installed for 185 + 35 for the tension straps. So the total cost was $670 dollarrs, not bad.

I bought the straps from here:

Got the top from here:

Wait, 185 for the install onto the frame? wow, that is a swinging deal!

Yup, believe me I called around for a week and that was the cheapest. Everywhere else was asking 1200.

I've never done one before. I like to think I'm mechanically inclined though so I'll be giving it a try myself... thanks for the luck lol might be needing some.
