Aaaagh the rain's getting in!

The roof on the Mustang was not meant to last forever :-(
Little splits eventually became big splits and I could not keep driving around with crappy looking patches glued on it any longer.

So after much research, I settled on ordering a roof kit from Mustangs Unlimited in the USA. I have to say those guys have got it together! Good easy to use site, lightning delivery, no fuss or bullshit. I was impressed.

I looked all over the Coast for someone to do the job but was not having a lot of joy. One guy who came highly recommended was too busy to book me in, the best he could do was take my details and promised to call . . .He never did.

My mother found the name of a guy in Caloundra, Sheldon Pierce Trimming who seems really good. BUT! He is really damn busy too and although it was to take 2 days, he now wants it a week!

On top of that, 2 days after I delivered it, he calls me to say the front alloy bit is really corroded and crumbling.

The frontmost part had been dodgied up with duct tape and not properly treated when a new roof was put on last time. So I took it back home and cleaned it up with a wire brush and stabilising stuff.

The roughest bits have been filed off and I painted it matt black to keep the moisture out. Have a go at the pics, looks awfull, but it's not that bad now I have cleaned it.

Hopefully, Sheldon can fit a piece of rubber or something to give a clean edge across the front.
