1969 onto 2010

[PBob]

My Puma is now fitted with its 1969 Series 11a hardtop onto the rear of my 110 crew cab. This is now lockable and fits well. It had to be shortened through the window, has new glass and the original rubbers reversed from inside to outside. I have also fitted an LED light inside above the rear door. Total cost $2100.00. I also kept the tropical roof that was on the hardtop when bought.
I'm trying to download some pics, but not sure quite how to do this? (Will try)...

Now more pics in the thread "Show us your Deefers."

Much safer than a cargo barrier!

Well done. :BigThumb:

Why did not not just buy a wagon in the first place

All I can say is: "Who wants to have bags of chicken manure or fencing tools etc flying around in the back of a station wagon?"

"Who wants to have bags of chicken manure or fencing tools etc flying around in the back of a station wagon?"

And bales of hay blowing all over the seats etc. - and yes it does fool some people until they look properly.
But the people who really looked were the ones on the Stuart Highway being passed by a Defender towing a camper van doing 120kmh!:D:D

""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.:cool:

[PBob]

"More pics please!"

OK

[juddy]

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

[PBob]

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.:)

A unique look indeed and very well done but I also had similar thoughts to Reeds90 but with the addition of why not build a solid, sealed partition/cargo barrier into a wagon - isolates cargo from personnel and probably would cost a lot less than $3500. But then a s/wagon is probably dearer than a 110 crew cab ute.
Just a thought.
