Simon -- did you get the Lexan windows? Can you share pics? Im thinking of fixed front windows with slider kits in. Ive got two soft top cars (MR2 & Spitfire) for summer, will so use the Marcos more in cooler months - especially in the snow -wicked ..
IMM is mid-August, so maybe 9 weeks of DVLA sh1te if you are taking the Marcos.. Id have no chance. Engine has not run in 30+ years .. |

thinks havnt been going to good lately, I re-ordered a new drivers window in the new dimensions as the previous ones i ordered were the wrong size. Waited 5 weeks and they had sent me the same old dimension windows,so thats another long wait for replacements and now i found out the dvla never received my v5 after 6 weeks of waiting(yeh of course it was lost in the post) So now there will be no imm in the marcos for me |

Ive been staying out of the garage for the last 3 weeks due to the problems with the dvla and a certain plastics company,just totaly took the wind out of my sails and put me right off the marcos. But i did venture into the garage last night and though i would have another go at making a door handle as i had one left after the last one melted. over the moon i actually managed it |
