A big thank-you goes out to Rod at Market place autos in Airport West and Owen at Prestige sunroofs in Cheltenham for all your help with the supply and fitting of the sunroof.
As some may have heard or read, our sunroof glass seperated from the frame at the recent drag nationals at Heathcote and shattered on the track. I was introduced to Rod by Spoolman. Rod said that he may have a complete replacement sunroof that had never been fitted to suit our car. So after a few phone calls in the days after the event i went over and picked it up for a very good price. Because we could'nt drive the car and me being away from home most weeks for work, i have been trying to have the new frame & glass fitted for 4 weeks. After being quoted some absolutely ridiculous amounts for the removal and fitting by some businesses, i came across Prestige Sunroofs in Cheltenham whilst looking at a thread on these forums. Finally having a day off today i rang Owen to enquire if he was able to look at the car today. He told me to bring it over and when i arrived he went straight to work on it. I offered to leave it for a few hours (he had a luxury 4WD that he was in the middle of doing an install on and said he had time up his sleeve) but he said it would'nt take long to do. In under an hour he had fitted & adjusted the new roof. Once again a big thanks to you both and i have no hesitation in recommending both businesses to potential customers. Cheers, Mark. |

Rod would have to be one of the most generous blokes around. A few years back when I changed diff gears in my ute I took the diff out, and he sent one of his guys to my home to pick it up and take it to their diff place, then return it once the gears were swapped over. He also had some underdrives there and Rob fitted it while I was there, when I was just there to say gday.
He really knows his cars too! Will be good to see his drag car going once it's all done (as well as spooly directing him back to the start line in his tutu) |

As others will testify, the guys on the start line are very vigilant when it comes to safety issues. |
