I believe it was imported by AJ.
It was once owned by a fellow in Geelong, Had the Vic plates UK-101.
Then sold to the fellow in Queensland who offered it for $16k in Ararat.
I tried to buy it but he didn't return my calls.

It'd look cool painted yellow.

You and your yellow!
You would have liked Cooee's now owned by proud101owner.

Looks like it was owned by a pimp :o. How outlandish can you get?

Hi MudSkull. My original plan was to mount the hardtop atop the sides too, but it soon became apparent that mounting a roof to those four pillars and the windscreen was not going to happen. I ended up going direct to the arch which gave it decent rigidity and cutting the front tray uprights (yeah, I know, but they were marked and done accurately so could have been refitted.. ). In the top of the cut uprights I cut a piece of plate with a captive nut which gave it even more strength and then onto a new screen. That still flexed quite a bit tho.. Ideally the soft black stuff they use needs taking out and a decent Sikaflex used as glass is very tough that way.

Thanks for the Headsup Sitec, Hmm .. my idea was to try an put some kind of lockdown stays/rods along the canopy (that's what i'm calling it :)) to the arches and body floor using the existing tie down points (if possible) and clamping the canopy down. The windscreen area I had not though about yet.

Thanks again, I'll keep your way in mind before I go ahead.. my idea may prove bad! :)

Heheh, I reckon it looks great! Also like the Orange and Lime Green ones, Mine is very drab! :)

I am surprised it doesn't have a nipple pink bullbar and nibble pink hubs and wheels nuts.:o.

You know what they say about assumptions.....they make an ass out of "u" and "umption"
