    Converting rag top perentie to hardtop wagon

    Hey guys as the title state is it possible. From photos it looks to me like the tailgate in the rag tops are wider than a standard defender rear door. Does anyone know if it's possible?

    Cheers in advance

    I am keen on doing this mod to my FFR. The biggest issue is finding a second hand single cab and roof.
    They are a bit like hen's teeth at the moment so if anybody has one please let me know. They are worth good money.

    Certainly possible. There was a Perentie for sale on Gumtree in Tassie that had a defender roof and wagon sides. It didn't have a rear door but as Jeff notes the standard wagon door fits. You could also do a series style clamshell door arrangement; that might be easier.

    Cheers guys, as cool as the rag tops are I just don't see them being the most practical, but knowing that this is possible is defintely getting me keen. I've always wanted an Isuzu powered rover.
