The Clipper now finished

I have now finished my tidy up of the Clipper and am very happy with the results. Spent the weekend giving it a good clean before it gets put away for the winter.

I purchased the car back in March. It was in pretty good condition then, apart from the roof being perished, the bodykit had taken a bit if a battering over the years, and the standard steel wheels being in a bit of a state. I have had a new mohair roof fitted, and had some snowflakes refurbed to match the colour of the car. I also had the bodykit resprayed so that it was in keeping with the rest of the paintwork, apart from that the car is in really good condition throughout

Apart from the lack of power steering this is by far the most fun car that I have owned. The only issue at the moment is that the family are hinting that they might want to upgrade to a campervan for next year Would be great to hear what you guys think about the car :

Looking good mate same colour as mine 
How much u pay for new roof mate as mine needs doing 

Hey it's looking good but then I didn't see it before.
Like the number plater. G—VWC!  

As for the Camper, well may be rent one.
Take them to the brecon beacons say at Easter or at the very end of the summer and hope for bad weather.  

Mind you even if your unlucky and the weather is great, just being there should put them off for life!  

Apologies to both my Club Friends and my personal Friends from down that way, I do love it really.    

So keep the Golf.  

Thanks Guys, It wasn't too bad before, but 100% better now!
The Hood was about £360 I think. That included fitting at my work as well.
That's a good idea with the camping. Maybe I'll wait until another storm is forecast and take them off somewhere…
The thing is, I am quite tempted to take on another little project. Maybe I can keep both!

Was that mohair or vinyl can't quite tell 
Who did it mate and how happy was you with the job? 

I went with a blue Mohair. The carhood Warehouse came out to me to fit it for a fee on top of the cost of the roof. Was very impressed with them and the fit is perfect. There was a slight issue with some glue showing along the stitch lines which was a manufacturing fault and not a fitting fault. However, they still came out to my house and cleaned it all off for me. I would definitely recommend them.

Have you got a pic with roof up? 
This is mine awaiting a new roof 

And did you have new inner lining for that price? 

Here's a side view for you  
I didn't have the inner lining replaced as it was in good condition beforehand

Nice looking Clipper you've got there bugs-gti  

Jealous lol just what I need a blue mohair 
Need my lining done too bet that ain't cheap too 

Just phoned northern and they said.
