Double cab pickup in Calais

Spotted this DCP in the Carrrefour carpark in Calais this week with the nifty hardtop - looks like its ex Series with the cat flap still fitted.

Very Nice ! Is that just a shortened roof?

It's not finished yet, I'd planned to put alpine lights in, but one grew legs. New seals to be fitted, and cat flap to be found/built. I got a very cheap 88" hardcopy, cut the side panels shorter, cut roof down, and had an old 90 roof (where the alpine lights came from.) that I cut the end off to make the front edge, then made two end pieces from aluminium angle, a bulkhead from 2mm aluminium sheet. Rear fixings fit original in tub, on the front I plan to fix to the canvas tilt clamp, but considering over center latches or similar for quick removal. Its not too heavy, I can lift it off alone, but is very awkward because of the size!

Good spot. Thanks. Although that is costing 75% of the total build cost again!

I bet it will - but it might save you a fair bit of fabrication... My blog - www.anacreinhampshire.blogspot.co.uk

Fair point. I do enjoy fabrication however. I will see how that goes...
