Your right it does look a bit rough, not sure about his way of fixing the front indicators... But if its got mot then it cant be all bad, 600 sounds alright to me, and you can tidy it up yourself cant you.

Doesn't look that rough, just got a crap paint job, then again it's hard to tell unless you see it in person.

I don't really understand why you want another one when you could put the money into making the one you already have better though :er: especially when you haven't even got your license yet?

It looks like there's a big hole in the front wing. Just from what I can see, I'd say £600 is a bit much. £400 more like, but I'm going off of a small picture.

Just thinking out loud but if you was to tow a trailer with sj on it, and the tow car was an sj , surely you would be over weight and underpowered? :S

To be perfectly honest you get what you pay for so if you don't feel like you have the time/capability/tools/equipment to carry out repairs on your current soft top then I would save for longer and get a more solid tin-top if that's what you really want.

Then as little jobs come around that need doing on that you can do them and grow your skills/tools as you go.
