See how easy and fast Bugeyes can be restored, hehe. Only takes 20 folks who have done it before.

It only took 12 guys and 2 weekends :wink:
1 weekend to take it apart and fix the metal, another weekend to put it all back together.
It has it's custom tonneau cover now, Blue to match the interior with white edging and a cone shaped pocket over the steering wheel so water sheds off of it.
The local shop saw my tonneau and the puddle in the middle, he improved the design and used a plastic white plastic zipper to keep with the color scheme.

You mean everyone does not carry a blow up beach ball to place on the tunnel to hold the tonneau up so it sheads water nicely?

The Beach Ball trick is the best thing I learned in LotO! So simple and so effective. Absolutely brilliant... now if I could just find a tonneau cover!
