Roof folds back and in very cool, I emailed the designer several years back, he wasn't going to produce it.
It's based on a 2cv but would do well with a small bike engine
Very very cool, could do with a leather trunk at the back

Hi
thanks for the replies.
However they seem to be like hardtops. I fancy a soft top.
Someone put on here a step by step guide how to make one. Thought i had saved page but can't find it
if anyone else has saved it or knows the link then please let me know. Plus suitable suppliers would be nice too
thanks
Steve

Thanks again for replies.
Still isn't the thread i was looking for but its a good starting point. The thread probably was at least 6 months ago. I Will keep looking. I seem to remember it showing how to get right tension and how to attach the buckles at rear. Its probably no better than link you have give.
Thanks for link for suppliers
