WOW! Thats some serious work
 Why did you decide on rear doors instead of the easier route of a catflap as in the Series vehicles? |

Rear doors will make it easier getting stuff in and out as you can reach in more than with a drop down tailgate. 993 Varioram - Guards Red

Tidy, i'd go see a decent plant glass place and ask them to cut some 'double shadowlite' glass instead of putting a tint on there

I got mine painted before I fitted it who did you get it off
You will need to keep the hinges oiled they go stiff quickly if you don't |

Bought direct from AFN we are planning on stocking these here in UK.
I was going to get painted first but glad I didn't as doors need some adjustment. Apart from the door alignment issue a perfect fit. I must say really impressed with the quality all aluminium construction and attention to detail 993 Varioram - Guards Red

Get someone, or yourself if you feel compatent to ply line the back and seal it. It's a damn site easier to clean out than faffing with all the ribbing and nooks and crannies found in the bare body.

Like Bob says, 130's are growing on me ... need to justify one (and get a bigger garage) Are you going to use Stable matting for the interior ? |
