Club 80-90 Forums

I've done a few searches but cannot find anything specific - so here goes.
The bodyshop who are repairing my 1980 Vanagon (with the westfalia conversion and pop top) have asked me about removing the pop top to make a cleaner job of the respray.
1 - Is this a sensible thing to do?
2 - Is it relatively straightforward?
3 - Can anyone point me to a site which has step by step instructions?

The rest of the van has been soda blasted so it would be a shame if the roof area let it down.

Cheers

Jonathan

P.S - How do I add pics to a message?

One for the Westyfans out there...

Pics - use the "upload attachment" tab below the post reply window (next to "options") when creating message, remember to insert image in line at the correct point and reduce file size of pic first!

Well I got the 2 sections of the pop top off without any problems at all. 45mins tops. Every screw and bolt came out easily and it just lifted straight off. Respray should now be a lot neater!
