    New 130 roof

    Gday everone just a few pics of the new roof on my 130 after i rolled it.. its a county wagon roof and we grafted the back section of my roof to the front section of the new roof as we needed the curved back section ...overall iam pretty happy with the end result..it looks a little dented in the pics but thats just cause the angle..JC put me on to a bloke from up the coast that helped me with the roof..the roof cost me $700, new window $110 and new window frame $300...

    Rolled



    New roof




    Cheers Adrian

    I reckon you should put a tropical roof over it to hide the ridges and it'll look like it was supposed to be that way. Also help keep it cool in the summer.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    are the disco aplines shorter......????

    I thought they were may still not be short enough for what you want unless you wanted to cut the roof to match
