Not sure what to call it TBH.
A DCHCPU that's being converted to a big vehicle by knocking the back of the cab out and incorporating the covered pick up area into the driver/passenger area to make one big space. Seemed a big for the title of the thread  130's have feeling's as well you know  |

I'll get my coat 
It'll be awesome once it's finished. What will it's primary use be - that requires you to connect the cavernous rear [ahem ] to the passenger area? One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

I don't know about a fifth door ( my tub is normally uncovered) but it looks good with the roof off. How easy was it? My kids would love it for the summer. 130 crew cab

Roof linings out then start unbolting takes about an hour. No going back now. Just spent a few hours cutting the dividing walls out. All being well we should have it all re-assembled tomorrow. 130's have feeling's as well you know |

Thank's for that. I've kept a pic of your roofless one on my desktop to remind me for later. Maybe when i put it back on for winter it'll leak a little bit less than it does at the moment. 130 crew cab

Funnily enough....
Took the roof off our 90 a couple of years back and ran it with a soft top for the summer. When I put it back on we ended up without the leaks we'd had previously

You've been watching too many "pimp my ride" and "london chop shop" re-runs!
Gap in the market for ex-moor trim maybe for DCPU roofs! Disco 3 gone but the memory of the bills remain... XS 110 Utility maybe one day..... (did they fix the quality yet?) |

Ray we fix big water tanks remember
I have mastic that cost £50 a tube that requires a primer first. This stuff can hold back 20m head of water. then again if it is water tight it will be one of a small amount that is.
Got tied up in the office today so didn't get as much done as I hoped. We did sus the 2nd row seats out. The backs were in a very upright position, this is because they are crew cab seats. They are now able to recline further back. Basically the same as a standard 110 2nd row. The 2nd row seats in a 130 are 60mm closer to the front seats, we were going to set them further back but decided to leave them in the standard position. 130's have feeling's as well you know |
