So you need to replace the entire front body and replace the entire rear tub - buy an old cheap series 2 88 and start with that and leave the lightweight alone.
Here are three pics - the first is of a gun buggy, the second is of a series 2 and the third of a lightweight.

You can see the similar body of the gun buggy to the series 2 - body wise the main difference is in the front guard and the tailgate area.
Now look at the light weight - completely different front end, completely different rear tub - note no rolled top of the rear tub - also note the door shape and opening is completely different.
Really without completely replacing the entire body of the light weight you are not going to be able to convert it to a gun buggy - completely different vehicles. Start with a Series 2 and go from there - as indicated Series 2s are still quite common and arguably can be obtained cheaply but lightweights are in comparison quite rare and really not a vehicle that should be butchered to make it something it never was.
Where did they get the lightweight from? Selling it would easily fund the purchase of a more suitable base vehicle and would probably pay for the entire project.
But clearly it is the choice of the club.

Oh the War Memorial has at least one gun buggy - that pic is from the AWM
