Huh... the story goes like this:

You all know I was selling my Supertop and Tim (Flying Eagle) wanted to buy it from me.
I have a friend who can work out shipping with boat to US or Canada. So it was doable but my friend was faster and he bought it off from me.

So I said to Tim, there is another Supertop in Croatia (3 in total) that is sitting on some meadow falling apart (that is what I heard, I never sow it there).
I suggested, I can cut down the roof and send it to you. It would be much cheaper then sending the whole car.
He was very interested in that and I contacted the owner.
He said ok we can have the roof for $400. Tim said its ok so I arrange a trip with my friends to go and cut down the roof.
When we got there my heart kind a sank.. The car wasn't so bad.
We started talking to the owner and he offered me the whole car for $600!
I couldn't say no and I just took it.. I decided to renew it and give it back its former glory!
The car has lots of perks already in it.
It has 4G63 N/A engine and A/C!!

So now... I kind of crossed Tim... He won't be getting his supertop... I am trully sorry for that Tim.. I had all the good intentions of helping you to get supertop..
But when the time came, I just didn't have a heart to "kill" it..
And now my wife is going to kill me... Thank you :)
So the car has its flaws, but few of my friends decided that we will all work on car get it back up to its full potential.
Here are the pics.
Ones again, Tim I'm sorry!

You know where to find me when the wife puts you on the couch! :twisted:

That frame looks better than mine around the rear wheel wells!

Restore it ... or find me and well, we know what will happen then. 8)

Awesome find!

Also any idea on what shipping would cost to send a super top here?

We didn't go in details once we decided it will stay.
The thing is, you can buy space in container. Depends on how big and heavy your package is.
I really wouldn't want to guess how much would it cost, but when I find out I will let you know.

I can ship anything in that way. I have complete front dashboard with no cracks if anybody wants it :D

Btw. I found in junkyard only glass from supertop.. but not the whole roof.

@ MattGSR - Yes we were putting EVO9 turbo on it.

Yeah that's what I meant, shipping on just the roof section.

Dayum, that might have become the only supertop in North America!

They never got turbo's in anything below the Eclipse, so all show and no go!!!
Besides, we don't pay their gas prices, now do we.

Dear Bruno,

Awesome restoration on the outside of the vehicle.
