    This thing was the physical embodiment of a diamond in the rough. Looks really clean now. I'm surprised after being sun beaten that the 13 button obc still works. Nice find.

          It still needs work haha I have to cut the paint once more. I went light the first time because I didn’t want go to deep into the paint and go past it. What color is your car? My paint is single stage so it made it easier. From my understanding the clear coats fail in the metallic cars

                I used that and did a quick pass. I will be doing a more detailed/ more steps pass to make it 100%

                      I got it from Ebay, it has a two year warranty and came with all the tools necessary. Not every car has zip in windows though, only the late models. Let me know if you need any help with putting it on!

                              Everyone kept telling me I’d have to replace the top but something told me to check the back window and I saw the zipper and felt great relief lol. Even on the forums a lot of people weren’t certain of it and thought it didn’t exist or that it was a aftermarket top but the tag in the front of the car near the rear view mirror on the inside of the top rear original bmw top so that out my mind at ease

                                Nice little restoration. Love it when you can clean and fix parts you already have instead of replacing .
