Marcos Maniacs

Hi Mick, I'm pleased I'm not the only one in double digit years of restoration! I am on my 13th year I think, I have converted my V4 to a V6 on the home straight now! where abouts are you located?

I also own a 1969 V4 and have had problems with the sun roof. Got a beautifully made fabric replacement from Larry here, and have used the last week to make up new (stainless) metal parts. That is - both the front and rear end plates, including the angular and rolled metal strips. It's not been an easy task but I hope it'll fit. Will find out the next week, as I first need to sandblast and prime/paint the mechanism "box" before commencing.

Good luck to you
