Hard Top Conversion

Spent the day today fitting a hard top to my 4x2 for the winter. All nuts and bolts building up the sides then the roof. Hardest and most expensive part was fitting new seals to the roof and tub.

That looks great. Well done. I imagine the roof/seals/nuts and bolts were expensive to source and purchase. Well done again

Cheers, Simon

It's a bit of a shame that someone's cut the Series 1 hardtop to fit Series 2 or later rear windows, but it looks good.

Nicely done! I can't say it looks as good but I'm sure it's more practical for winter? James

Hi
Yes a plain hard top would have been better but rare as hens teeth. Just fancied a different (industrial look

) for the winter months, want park it outside now and again as I need some garage space. Next Easter the soft top will go back on

Not sure if that's good or bad news
