Looking good.  Just in time for rain - at least, that is what we're looking at just north of you.

LOL No sir! That was after about 4 hours of stretching, gluing, swapping pieces and parts, scrubbing and finishing. I am happy with how it turned out, though. As long as you don't look too close!

My XR2 came with a new top.  When the '93 NA was due, I farmed it out.  I might try one someday, but the NA top leaked bad when I got it, and this local guy (auto upholstry shop in Springfield) is so good that it makes the couple of hundred bucks well spent.

Don't get me wrong guys, the top was already on a frame. I just had to do a little repair work. I don't think I would have the patience to attempt a complete installation of a new one. After reading about how much work it is to do, having it proffesionally done is the way to go IMHO. Now if I can just get my windows adjusted properly, I'll be good to go.
