Thread: perentie hardtop conversion

I reckon I could make it work with a jigsaw and a few dozen tubes of silastic.
What worries me is I reckon some people have done just that.

Unless you change the windscreen to a series one as well.

That will be the one I mentioned earlier in this thread to be told "it can't be done".

Bumped into them last September.

Was a father and son and it was the sons car. Both were Landy tragics.

I spoke to them, they were on their way home from Melbourne, and they had a light brown/yellow/poo coloured S3 hardtop roof and sidepanels fitted. Told me (cos I asked) that the ROPS were still in place and only required minimal mods to keep.

I don't really care, because I've got a hardtop and I don't want a Perentie, but it has been done.

I'm sure no-one was wanting to be disrespectful Steane, but we'd love to see how it was done- to satisfy our
own tragic interests even if we don't want to copy them

Hi Steane I would have thought they might of had to cut down the ROPS as it looks to be too high Cheers

That's the way to do it. I have seen one converted that way years ago.

Are the boxes on the Perenties the same length as a normal 110? For some strange reason I thought the rear overhang was longer. Would this not make a normal 110 roof too short?
