    First thing on the list on saving this fastback was to repair a section of the top that cracked.

    Used a bit of epoxy to reinforce some parts that I didn't get around taking a pic of.

    After all the repairs I wet sanded the top with 600 grit to prep the surface for wrap

    Forgot to add that the old wrap was such a big pain to rip off.

    And also had to remove the snapped screws that were seized on the mounting points of the top...
    Wasnt fun at all





    JUST HORRIBLE

    Was able to get 2/3 snapped screws out.
    The third one didn't budge at all and I didn't
    want to further drill/ damage the top.

    Long story short and a ton of snapped drill bits, I cleaned all the threads up with a tap and die kit followed by adding anti-seize to the threads...
