 |

I recall reading a thread 5+ years ago detailing an Inca Red vert but can't find it or any of the images using search.
The key part was the top restoration and fitting of the materials.
Any ideas?
thanks

2 Dokas, not certian what exactly your looking for.
Reassembly?
Correctness?
Suppliers ?
I drive a 56 Inca, its wasnt a restoration, but a preservation,
Repairs required trial and error, IE, frame, top, windows, & $$ .and mostly friends like Mike (Kab knowledge)and Manuel.(upolstery).
My car has had 1 repaint,in the past, its driver quality, I had the window frames rechromed,
If you have questions plz ask.
You might also follow Bulli Bill, he has been collecting parts for his for past 30 yrs. And is about to begin his restoration. Bill does his homework, and I think will be a top notch restoration.
Good luck
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
thanks for your reply and offer for help. I am mostly interested in the details of the convertible top. I recall seeing some pictures of your top installation, with measurements of the bows along with the cloth installation.
Found a few of your threads about the the new top but I think there is a long one on your refurbishment, can you send me a link?
I have a couple of talented kids, one is a fine woodworker and is going to help with the missing wood bow and the rear bowed piece where it attaches to the body, and the other is a talented seamster though he is super busy.
I have a ways to go, just getting my ducks in a row.
The $$ part is like a boat, just a hole in the water to throw your money into.
