Firstly big thanks to deltron63 for coming up trumps with a locust roof and doors!

As the bodywork, doors and screen on my locost where originally from a locust, I have always been on the look out for a roof from the same car. deltron63 replied to my post saying he had a roof and doors going so I collected them today!


It needs some stretching, cleaning and fettling to fit and a hole patching up but so far so good, it pretty much fits!

For some reason though my car has gone from being called "brum" to being called the "munsterkoach"!!

no problem mate, glade to help.
looks like it fitted ok. i found the washer bottle after you left, sod's law.
took the car out today, what a difference the zetec makes.
the only problem is the prop angle is wrong,i've got to move the gearbox up a bit !!!

Great looking Locost!!!

Looking good!

My experience of weatherproofing on se7ens has shown that it is 'variable' at best

Mine does a nice line in rain bubling through under the screen, and coming back up under the passenger door...

It does however keep the worst off

Thanks for the nice replies!

Only problem i have now is that it is almost impossible to get in and out of the car lol.

My idea of keeping the weather off is keeping the speed up!
