Welcome to Stangnet.

Lets talk about that Vert Sailcloth. What condition is it in? Seams still tight or starting to separate? Material still pliable or feeling more stiff and dry rotting? Visually it looks good. The Hardware function properly for the top?

Glad to see those fog lights work

Well, I got the car near end of warm season last year. it sat for a long time (clearly) but she cared for the car well. from what I can tell once I cleaned it up the cloth and pump etc all work fine. she replaced it at some point in the 2000's the sides of the moldings that hold the cover when the top is down are loose so I have to mend or replace those. the back trim piece that (appears) to be stapled to the back has some loose staples but besides that it all seems to be in good working condition thus far. The motor is a bit slow upon first going back but being an old likely weak pump its prolly how it naturally is but it works well.

as for the fog lights I am in the process of replacing the gauge cluster on this car she added an aftermarket white gauges which I do not enjoy and after a hell of a time am getting a OEM one back in the car that I should be getting I the mail today while removing the aftermarket one the fog light switch connected Is quite melted, they still work as you see but I still ordered a new connected to get in there and am going to put some led fog bulbs to avoid it happening again the plug looks to of gotten close to catching fire melted it pretty good.
