I can not seem to find, for the life of me, another metal door top for my car. I need at least the left/drivers side top from an early car as I now have 2 rights

I have had several attempts to help in the past. Either people swore that they had metal tops only to later discover that they were wood, or they thought that I was talking about the metal clips and sent me those. I appreciate all of that, but I need to get some panels in my car before I leave. Who can hook a brother up? I attached a pic.

I will swap you a whole doorpad with a metal top for the pad that goes across the front of the targa band. I need one of those real bad to finish the interior of my car.

Door top?? what's that? seriously, I don't recognize that item. If I had an extra it would be yours.

Early 914 doorpads use a curved metal top behind the vinyl. In about 73, they cheapened it up and used bent cardboard for the top. He wants the metal piece to make a new doorpad.

I have my original panels, I'm not sure if the top is metal...

Clay, you mean the targa bar? I just replaced mine last week... it was almost in 2 pieces... got my replacement out of a canadien car that was being parted out on pelican... no cracks, $65... thought I'd rub that in... since your car will probably still be done before mine, and you can drive Betty's in the mean time! vindication is mine

Nope. The one above the rear window that has the openings for the rear top latches. (sorry, no way to post a pict from here).

Hey Heidi,
I need to talk to you about a set of speaker grills with speakers for my car.

Would you send me the total and an address to send the money in a PM?

I think it needs a little clean up but it doesnt look like it has any cracks in it. Here is a picture of it.

Actually, the one I need is them oposite to the one pictured. I have two of the one pictured. If it is the opposite, I'll take it. I'll PM

Hey Mike, The one on the Chalon is nice and straight but the ends are a little torn up, can these be recovered in leather or something? If so, I need mine done. I was just going to swap it with this one but if Clay needs it, I can just recover mine.

Posted by: Dr Evil Jul 1 2005, 11:23 AM

Scott, I need one of those, too.

If you want to swap it out and sell me the old one, I will take it. I was going to take it to the upholstry shop and have it recovered anyway.

How much do you want for it?
