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 . 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..
