Fairview,
Nice find!
Yes, a car that's that close to original, deserves to be kept that way!
I suspect that a tool kit wasn't supplied with the car to begin with.
A new top can be easily made with the right, faux leather grain, material.
Warren.
ps, I'm only a few miles East of you in Earlysville. Glad to see another 4/4 in the area!
