Anyone got one they could measure for me? I'm planning on making one as I have loads of wood available

Just need height, width and depth if anyone can help?

I would measure my hardtop, but it's in the In-Laws garage and they're on hols

Thanks

I can when I get home this afternoon....edit,found a pic of mine on Amazon...1000mm high...770mm wide....520mm deep.

You could easily go 100mm wider if you have the space for it....height and depth are fine and if wheeling it about get good 3" rubber castors...small plastic ones are crap lol...I changed mine from the ones supplied.

Are you able to measure and tell me how tall it is with the hardtop on the stand please?

The top is approx 1300mm long on the centre line..slightly less on the outer edges as the top curves in where it would actually sit on the stand...
So at most 1300+ material thickness+wheels/castors....at a guess 1400 mm high depending on castors used.

The top is 1200 wide.

Hardtop for sale, wonky wooden stand included. Full fitting kit. Still attached to nice little red car. £2500  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Just kidding folks, I like my little red car, I'm keeping it, especially as I now have a TTE exhaust - sounds soooo good

Thanks Carolyn. I may take you up on that, I'm going to give my less than average woodworking skills a shot first though - I may even surprise myself!!!

I could possibly get you some strips of Fire-retardant self adhesive foam, to help protect the hood from the woodwork of the frame. 12mm, 20mm or 50mm thick.
Owned a few Toyotas, still own a few. Known around the interweb as Old Red Celica. Heinz our TF300 is named that because he\'s number 057.  MR2 is technically Mrs Old Red\'s, but she does FB, I do forums.

That would be great. I guess the 20mm would be sufficient - PM incoming
