Still it was pretty advanced when it came out, with a monocoque design, which made it both light and strong. Our staff has decades of experience selling auto parts to enthusiasts like you. Unlike many other retailers, there is no minimum purchase requirement! With a new Heritage shell you take delivery of a complete bodyshell? If you have to buy one from one of the soft-top specialists try, if you can, to avoid buying without seeing first there are some horribly mis-shapen offerings , and get yourself a soft-top with the clips and stud fastenings already fitted, if possible. We have not found this to be the case. For phone sales or help with product fitment questions, our U. Sixity Auto is also a leading auto parts retailer on eBay with over 99% positive feedback spanning 230,000+ feedback reviews!. It is now impossible to start, as we did, with a shell bare of front wings, bonnet, doors and boot lid.
Whether it's for your car, truck, or van, we have staff on hand that can answer your questions and make sure you get the part you're looking for. The only disadvantage of a factory fresh soft-top is that it is likely to cost a little more. Certainly, the business of cutting out rot and replacing it with sound metal is a time consuming one if it is done properly, but just think about this. We started with one of the early Heritage shells and the fit of components has undoubtedly improved since that time. On the other hand, you will have to remove all the panels for thorough painting and you will still have to drill every hole for the chrome trim and for the hood fixings; you will have to work out where the handbrake cable, the bonnet pull, and many other minor items will have to go? Sixity Auto has partnered with Trustpilot, the industry leader in tracking customer loyalty and feedback, to bring genuine product and customer service reviews. Tweaks throughout its life included the fitment of a synchromesh gearbox in 1968, three windscreen wipers, new plastic bumpers, and suspension revisions to keep the headlights at a legal height.
We do it ourselves to help you do-it-yourself, and whatever your mechanical ability, the practical step-by-step explanations, linked to over 900 photos, will help you get the job done right. The time you save in not having to carry out bodywork repairs will probably be spent twice over in having to fit a new wiring loom, having to ensure that every captive nut is in place and in fitting the screen, the dashboard and every single one of the hundreds of clips, grommets, catches and screws to be found in a shell. Only you can make the decision as to whether your car is restorable, whether you want to retain its original bodyshell or whether you would rather go down the Heritage route. The small extra cost saves a lot of work? If you can get an original factory soft-top, the advantages are that it is very likely to fit much better than those made by outside concerns, it may be better made and it will be constructed of the correct material. These will all have been fitted for you at the factory, and that represents a very considerable saving in time. In the end, the decision may come down to the condition of the donor car or the car being restored. The first job, and probably the most important one, is to buy the best soft-top that you can afford.
