Can't believe... wife calls me up half way around the world.... (In Tokyo on a biz trip) and tells me that some idiot broke into her car. :squint:

Turns out they ripped the top :eek: and stole the radio. It wasn't like it was some expensive radio, it was an old Blaupunkt. (looked nice though...)

Not sure how much this is going to run me but I am pretty down south now..... :cry: Not about the radio, but about the top.

Anyone got any idea how much it is to replace/fix and where I can get it done in LA?

can it be sowed back together? prolly not but its an idea i haven't see many verts around so i would say quite a bit b/c i think your gonna have to goto the dealer to find one.

Convert that bitch into a TRUCK! I personally think it'd be alot easier than a fastback. But my uncle got his top replaced, and it ran him like, 300bucks. FYI, he own's a mustang.

Hey CRX, can i have the gum your car is chewing?

300 bucks... not bad. but thats a ford right? I have a feeling that my vert is going to run me alot more.

I gotta get one of those speaking alarms with the perimeter alter thing after I get the top fixed.

just bring it to west coast customs. Let them pimp her ride. Plus they do good work on upholstery which would include conv tops... :wiggle:

But that sucks that they still ripoff old stereos... :loco:

its not gum dammit its an acid tab. hahahah


anyways best bet is to call the dealer and see how much and then call some local shops and see what thier prices are.. call local junkyards that have a network of other yards and see if they have any... and then post in the WTB section and see if u get any bites.

if the top isnt destroyed, the cloth can more then likely be replaced

not to mention, it sounds like they STOLE my Nismo shift knob... (good thing I was in tokyo... stopped by Autobacs and got me a new one :) )

I hate kids who have nothing better to do than brake into cars.

I think I have to get one of those alarms that say "step away from the car"
