This looks great, would love to see some more detail pics of the fabricated bits, unique panels etc.
Good stuff.  |

some pics of rear corners of hard top etc on previous pages.
roof is SIII and early 110 combined, C pillar back are front section of 109 sides. join in middle is 3mm fabricated with lots of angles etc. most of it now covered up. Can take some of what ever you are after, let me know. Rear seats looking spacious. Click image to enlarge under cubby draw made to measure by Dean at DogBoxUk https://www.dogboxuk.co.uk/
Rear draws in to, again from Dean. proper locking for added security too.

Lots of nice details there, James. Those small fillet panels between the rear side doors and hard top look like they could do with some windows in for the rear seat passengers, though? Darren

thank you.
windows thats a point of discussion! i was originally going to put windows there but my two children have requested not. they opt for the pillar seat in the mini bus as it were. they can always be added. the seats do go forward a fair way to enable similar vision to a std 110USW. travelling in it so far has worked for them but time will tell.

Hmm, interesting. I only mentioned it because I've given some thought to adding small windows towards the front of the rear sides on my USW for a similar reason. In the end though, I decided that the thickness of the C pillar trim meant that the gains would be marginal. Darren

You'd also want to make sure that any windows you fitted didn't introduce the classic hardtop rear window security flaw.

Coming together nicely James, and that is an impressive amount of rear leg room in the back 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

I've got a similar situation with my 110 because the L232 seats push the back ones further back - has more leg room as a consequence but you end up with a similar patch of the utility side. The only beings that tend to travel in the rear though are the dogs and, Tali at least, find's it the optimal position so she can lie down and fall asleep with her nose sticking out the rear lower corner of the window. Eventually I was going to box mine in but put in some USB sockets and the like in it and perhaps a small pocket or two so that any passengers in the rear could put phones and general crap in there and charge if needbe. Also when I have the bed in the back then makes a convenient charging point if I wanted. Ed 82 Hotspur Sandringham 6x6 95 Defender 110 300Tdi |
