Striptease

YATTA!

We did it, finally we got her to take her top off.....


.....oh and the roof finally came down on the car :)

It took several hours of delicate arms-length wrangling that James Herriot would have been proud of, but we managed to release the final parts of the stuck mechanisms and were finally able to see the Saab in all her topless beauty.

The shot from the rear end isn't nearly so flattering. The image of WK "emerging" from the boot will haunt me forever. I will never be able to watch the rhino scene from Ace Venture without flashbacks and a rubber room.

The poor girl is not without some battle scars, most of the motors are totally seized and at some point the  tonneau cover motor has put so much stress on the system its actually twisted what appears to be a solid steel bar.

Now starts the process of ripping out the faulty guts (its for lightness, honest!) and bodging together a working system from what's left, bailing wire, and probably enough gaffer tape to cocoon a medium sized family home.

We'll let you know if we set it on fire or anything fun like that.

Now, where did those bits of plastic fly off too?.........
