Hi,
I want to change to 110 defender from station wagon to a HCPU.
Is this a straight roof swap? I'm wondering if anyone knows where I could buy a ute roof I've tried a few LR wreckers but my local wouldn't let me even if I paid for the ute roof and then gave them my wagon roof? Any help/advise would be appreciated.
Cheers,

SubscriberI think the HCPU referred to the tub on the 130's (and I think some UK spec 110s) and such which is wider than the body. Unlike the 110 Dual cab ute where its essentially just a shorter roof and different rear panel (more or less).
Converting this
to this
or this
shouldn't be too difficult.
I'd be tempted myself if I didn't already have a 130 HCPU.
What do you mean your local wrecker wouldn't LET you buy a part....?
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

I used the rear bulkhead from a 130, cut and fit into the back of the 110 (a series bulkhead would work too), then used a 110 rear window (again, a series window would work) and cut my roof down.
I find the "ute" much more usable now, and it is little quieter inside.
Its not the prettiest thing, but i love it!
