Full Version: Targa Top Refinishing...
So Rob Ways had his top refinished by Yeaman Autobody in Palo Alto and it caused me to synapse... Hey! I need that done too! I just got off the phone with Scott Yeaman and I asked if he was interested in doing a group buy. He's not so interested in that. He just doesn't have the room to store them so I talked to him about maybe doing a one a month thing...

Pictures? Cost? How to ship? what is the Yeaman process. Thanks for filling us in.
Sorry. Duplicate post
I paid $300 which included some work to the edges. Took 3-4 weeks as they did it between jobs. I picked it up as well.
The process is that they took my old top and made it look really nice, really original. 
They had some stuff they used before with somebody else who posts here. I got the same.

I'm the 'somebody else who posts here' that Rob mentions. Apparently, I'm easily forgotten
The process was discussed in this thread:

The end result is a top that looks brand new ... it's really that good. In fact, I'll stick my neck out and say it's as good anything anyone else is doing here in the States.

I'd be interested.

I'd be interested.
I'd need to source a loaner top, or finally buy an extra to modify for roof racks, since my 914 is used almost daily for the drive to work
2 way shipping will be brutally expensive. perhaps oversized.
2 way shipping will be brutally expensive. perhaps oversized. i'm going to rattle bomb one of my stash smooth finish roofs. prob red or 'like' an irish green. haven't decided yet.
Any local Seattle folk that do this type of work? I have three that need work.
Cheers

I just gave two extra tops to Steve in Berkeley. Send him a PM.

Sorry Dave. My memory isn't that good.
Actually, THANKS Dave. It turned out so good that there's no way I could have made it that nice. Looks new is a good assessment.
Not sure about shipping but the N Cal folks should be all over this.
I did remember it was an orange car....
