Photo: DIY Hardtop Convertible

January 8, 2013 By Nadeem Muaddi

We’ve seen a lot of DIY upholstery repair disasters, but this one takes the cake.

The owner of this 1990 Geo Metro LSi clearly didn’t have the money or skills to replace his convertible top – so he improvised. All it took was the old glass window and a few scrap pieces of lumber, and he was back in business.

The sun in his face, the wind in his hair, the splinters in his eyes… there’s nothing quite like driving a convertible, is there?

      Haha, I don’t think that any logic went into this project at all.

    If plywood could have wrinkles, this one would have them!
