More pics please!

""Quick question, did you get it color coded, as is hard to tell in the photo, sort of looks lke you did tho""

Yes it was colour coded - I did wonder about doing it in a darker charcoal just to make it stand out, but went with the original. We fitted gas struts inside the door and I had to block up a few little holes around the door with rubber and glue that you now basically cannot see. I went down the Oodnadatta track and have ended up with little to almost no dust in the rear (surprisingly).
This pic shows what I started with and incidently, bought this in the market section here for $350.00.

"More pics please!"

OK

Looks really good, top job there, bit expensive????

Possibly was, I wanted to get it right on the new vehicle.I probably could have bought the top a bit cheaper but it did have the tropical roof and all was in pretty good nick. It has been resprayed both inside and out and of course had to be all rubbed down. There ia also sealing rubber onto the tub and if you look closely, we fitted finishing strips around the front edges, gas struts, new lock etc. Also, there is full glass across the front inside as there of course was no cross plate there at all. I got a quote to have a fibreglass one made (altering a new canopy) and that was going to be 3K.
I think what we have is better.
