Anyone fancy making me a bimini top?

Thats BIMINI ***NOT*** BIKINI!!!

CBA to drive to SoftbitsforSevens and leave my car there for ages so anyone a bit closer to Northampton (than West Sussex (~120miles)) who thinks they could do a decent job on a bimini top (aka half hood) similar to this:

Its for my Fury so the front edge is going to be different but I have the fibreglass strip on order that sits against the windscreen top edge.

Ideally an "easy in" option would be useful (though would make it more complicated) as its got quite high sides and no doors.

Back tension straps / bungees could pick up on the harness eye bolts (about 8 inches behind the seats).

I'm no good at making stuff like this.

Can't really help but I'd like to see the result.

Might be worth looking in Zetec's archive and a quick U2U - he made himself a tonneau (spelling?) cover which looks very smart. I'm not saying he'd be up for making it for you, but might be able to giv some advice on having a go yourself.
