It is a very time consuming endeavour, I've heard.

Yes. Well I wouldn't say it's hard but very time consuming and tedious. I haven't done it but looking at the DIY's for replacing...I basically just said fuck it, I'll outsource this.

Well, if anyone is interested, I'll start by saying I don't think shipping is crazy and I pad $1400 for it including import tax...
it was basically discontinued and I snagged one of the last ones. Had to get in touch with this British company for it and convince them
to sell to me (sent pics of my bad teeth and a video of me doing the Gettysburg address in my best Queen's English).

The Gettysburg Address was during the Civil War, long after the British had control of us..

I just replaced my top with Robbins cloth. Very happy. Had a semi local S2K top expert do the install.

GLWS, J. I would consider it, but have to let my pockets fill back up before any other big ticket purchases.

Fuck that, I'd just duct tape the entire roof. An s2000 with a silver striped roof would look gangster.

4 hours!?!!?
FUCKKKKK

I wish...I know it'll take me a while.
As you may remember, I actually installed a soft top on the silver S...but frame included so I know my way around the interior. It's annoying and tedious but doable.
I think the riveting and how things go together is the most intimidating part for me.

I forget where I said to order from and call to get free shipping, Dave?!

And thanks, man...I'm in no rush to sell it...if it's still around when you're ready, let me know.

That's what I recalled, thanks Dave.
If I didn't have a garage or a 2nd vehicle, I probably wouldn't consider it.

Had a blast doing the twisties yesterday. Not once did the car skip a beat. Ended up losing my passenger side strake but it was worth it. I always buy something for the car when she performs nicely so I had it in mind to spend money already.

Funny because the look on her face did not say "let's do this again", to me.

Dennis, funny enough but I accidentally did a nice part of the blue ridge parkway on my drive back from Ohio with the TL-S in February.
