Certainly looks right. A good find if you weren't expecting it. The words "Hard top" on the electrical riser are a bit of a give away though....

It really is a very easy job - 15 minutes per side max.

You'll probably need to replace the trim for one without the fitting kit, so best to review the price you sell it for to factor this in.

Ebay the full kit including trim on ebay for £££

I have kept my originals if you want 'em, otherwise do a swap with whoever buys it.

non HT side panels can be used by trimming the brush there is no other difference
full kit can be found on hardtop guys web site it has a how to fit instructions and gives a detailed list of what you need to remove to sell as a "full kit"
the rear brackets have slightly longer bolts than a non GT car so you need to replace what you remove with new bolts
best way is as suggested get the buyer to help swap the items over

dipset - it's really easy to do mate, you just pull bits of trim off, unbolt and you're done

as someone said it's about 30-40 mins i'd guess
