    SWB dimensions

    Gday everyone, I have a bit of an odd question. I am about 200 kays from my car at the moment so can't do any measurements, but I am brewing up some ideas whilst I'm at work. Can anyone help me with some specific dimensions of the body/panels on a 88" hardtop?

    I even drew a diagram:


    So, red is total length
    blue is length from back of car to top of windscreen
    green is front of car to bottom of windscreen/top of firewall
    yellow is height of body
    (running out of colours) cyan is for height of hardtop
    pink is for height of hardtop roof part, say from top of hardtop sides to the top of roof.

    If anyone has anything, it would be a great help.

    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Just went out and measured up the SIII 88" hardtop.

    red / total length = 3420mm / 11' 12.5" to flush with the front panels, then another 120mm / 4.75" to the front of the bumper.
    blue / hardtop length = 2000mm / 6'7"
    green / front = 1170mm or 3'10" to flush with front panels
    yellow / height of body = 1450mm or 4'9.5" from sill panel to top of roof rib
    cyan / hardtop height = 740mm or 2'3" including roof rib
    pink / hardtop roof part = 190mm or 7.5" excluding roof rib, which is ~21mm

    Measurements are a bit rough - so within ~10mm or so; and don't forget to allow a bit for panel fit

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

    Caught!!

    That'll be 11' 2.5" - I think I'll blame the 11 key, rather than admit to not being as multi-scalar as I thought I was!
