What he said - VERY easy to do. About 1 hr's work (without paint). AFAIK 110 station wagon windows/sides are the same as 90 ones too.

So, I'm form New Zealand and I've got a 90 that fell over and needs a new roof Trouble is that 90s are rare over here and finding a second hand roof for sale is even rarer, so I'm thinking I'm going to have to look else where, the UK is a good chance but shipping would be a killer. So my question for all you experts in Oz, what are the chances of finding a roof for sale over there? What sort of money should I expect to pay for a tidy one?

Disconwhere, you should of made it fall over 4 months ago.... Had or actaully still have a 90 roof... but a bloke in Qld has dibs on it now... Have a soft top for a 90 in the garage though if you want to go that option......

Cheers guys for all your input, I am super stoked with all your help. I'd love to have it soft top, just it's not that practical as it is our only vehicle, well will be once the Disco is sold.
I've got my eye on a 110 roof over here which could work, a quick chop and some new side panels and it'd fit well, it has a sunroof though, but I could get rid of that, and it would also have no interior trim, it'd be nice to have trim looks like I'm going to do quite a bit of work to it so it'll end up being quite a neat truck so I may aswell aim for interior trim too.

So any ideas what I'd be paying for a 90 roof then?

So would you part with it if your arm was twisted a little?

So getting you to do all the work for me:) would you happen to know a name or number, I'd really like to give the wrecker a call and see what the story is.

Cheers

Well it fell over a year or so ago, it's been in use with a series truck cab and bent panels for the last year. I didn't tip it over either, I've just brought it:) I'd so love to soft top it, but then I cant lock it and someone will do something to it. My disco got stolen and stripped a couple of years ago, it was hard enough then when they stole my 35s, winch, tools and the rest but if that was done to a 90 then I have to really hurt someone:twisted: though the disco is a hard top and that didn't stop them!!! So how much would you want for you soft top?

Cheers
