    No worries ... something else to consider, my 110 has flat rear end, not the rounded windows at the corners. This was done to allow more room for the tray and the like - the rear bench seat still allows plenty of leg room - I am 6ft tall and it is no crush on me.

    The rear end of mine was taken from using the side window from the 110 wagon and then worked that way. Might be something for you to chew on.

    Cheers, Simon.

    I DID IT

    Hi all
    Did my conversion two weeks ago, if anybody is interested find attached also the bulkhead measurements.

    I used 50x50mm square tube for the top part where the cab would bolt on, and normal 1.5mm aluminium sheeting as per above measurements, this was all attached to the body with rivets using 25x25 angle aluminium.

    Took me and my help about 10 hours.

    Found a company in South Africa that makes Fibre glass roofs.

    Then a lot of nuts and bolts

    Still waiting on the proper tailgate. used the original door sliced it just underneath the window.

    Now to do the rubberising.

    Looks like he hasn't been on here since June 2018 unfortunately so unlikely you'll get a reply from him. Welcome along anyway, there's heaps of other great info here.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.
