slightly off topic andy but do you make a fibreglass roof for a 130, have heard somebody over east does them and though it would be worth a shot.

I like my bonnet too, but i like the 07 one better.

130 roofs, no? i know theres a mob on ebay selling 110 ute roofs in fiberglass for 700 bucks. Remember what happens to fiberglass when its smashed though, if you ever rolled it, your gone. personally i'd find an ally one. Saying that, 40 series toyotas had glass roofs.

Fibreglass is heavier than Alloy when its the roofs on Ebay.....

$700 is not cheap for them as you still have to finish them...

I dont know why someone would bother with a glass roof for their single cab though. Used ally ones aren't that hard to find, and i doubt they would want more than 700. I paid 150 or one that had been walked on when i did up my ute. I once got a quote to build a mould for a 110 wagon roof and that was $1500 with 1 copy. i didn't go ahead with it though.
130 dual cab roofs are rocking horse crap though, when wreckers wreck a 130, its normally rolled, and when they do have a half good roof, they want 2500 for one with slight damage.

I dont know why people sell fiberglass stuff that isn't a direct bolt on replacement and needs finishing. Its just lazyness.

If your going to make a new hump on an old fender..you should put a vent on it to assist with hot engine air removal...ask Rick he will know where to put the vent.
