    Thanks, but no... the heater core is sitting up in the attic... persumably wondering what in the hell it's doing up there in the cold.

    Although I have to admit, lately with the VW being out of sorts, and this bitter cold wind chill at 80mph, I've contemplated reinstalling the heater, ducts, blower, and the soft top...

    Miata bodykit on a TR6? That looks pretty good.

    It's cheaper than a top! Worked great on my TR6 plus it was completely removable!

    Ever seen a site called E-Bay they have neat stuff on occasion!

    And don't forget the cost of having an upholstery shop adapting it to work with the rollbar... I've seen it done, but its pricey!

    I had a place charge me around 80 to fix my boot to fit around the roll bar. They did a great job.

    The local tailor charged me $15 to modify my boot to work with the rollbar.

    I could loan you a hardtop. If I was a nice guy, who felt sorry for you being cold. Maybe Rent would be a better word?

    I did my boot cover myself, but the tonneau looks to be much more involved... With the boot, you just make a couple slits for the back support bars, but with the tonneau you need to deal with the hoop bars as well.

    To tell you the truth I couldnt remember what it cost, so I pulled the 80 out of my ass. I dont think it was that much but what are you gonna do? He did a great job, added velcro to clean it all up. Either way it was a waste since I dont use the boot ever.
