i wish we had a garage we could use, but our boss is a di*k so we can't work on our own cars in the shop without a workorder. so it seems that all the work we do has to be done from 6-7 at night when we are the only ones there. That's how i put my test pipe on. Life would be so much better if we had full use of the garage.

That's why I said on the "weekend". It's not the hardest thing to do from what I understand. But it's suppose to be a pain in the ass.

My usual technique for a project like this, work 2 hours, swear at the car for 30 min while drinking a beer, rinse and repeat.

From what I understand this is a one-shot deal. I don't think you can do this job piecemeal.

I just had the top replaced on my beloved S2000 by Sam over at Moorestown Auto and Boat Upholestry (Moorestown NJ.....just off Lenola Road). The original top had the plastic rear window which cracked, the new top has heated glass. Absolutely perfect job. I'd avoid a DIY, it's a bear of a job!
