I've know for some time now that the roof had some holes in it. I noticed the other day that the no-longer-fancy vinyl/fabric top of the car had deteriorated beyond my maximum laziness threshold. It was probably time I did something about the holes in my roof. When I removed the material, I found the holes were more numerous and larger than I had thought. Most were small, others were large enough to stick fingers through.
I used that metallic expoxy/putty stuff that comes in a stick and you break off a chunk and knead it. I won't lie, that stuff is a bitch to use, but I was getting at least somewhat proficient at using it. After the holes were covered a shitty sand job came next. I really didn't bother to remove all of the cover's adhesive and fibers that stuck to the remaining adhesive. Next I taped the trim on the car and then the windows. I chose to just primer it, as I really didn't care about how it looks, just more of preventing further rust.
All in all, it was kinda fun, and it cost less than $30. One of these days I need to replace the car, as it is 30 years old, and it will only continue to deteriorate. Heh! If ever quit spending money on it I could do that!
