Time to get the saw out!

[V8MoneyPit]

Thinking of chopping the back of the roof off later this year. So I've just quickly (badly!) cropped an image to give an idea of what it would look like.

I'm not too sure. What do you think?

[candpdoyle]

I Like it.. but surely using a 90 hard top would be easier than cutting??

Oh, but you don't know me!! I always like a challenge  :lol:

The loose plan would be to cut the front part of the main roof to get rid of a horrible leaky glass sunroof and cut the rear side panels up to the existing windows. Then move the rear panel forwards retaining the rear door so it opens into the rear deck.

There is an internal tool box and fold up seat. Both of which would be able to stay where they are.

Not sure if I'd put a tailgate on. But if I did I would probably hinge it from the side.... again, just be a little different  :roll:  :D

A curved back section a-la double cab look 1000% better than a flat end!

I know what you mean, but more difficult to get the back door to work.

It also moves the back even further back and the open door is about the same width as the length available anyway..... if you know what I mean!

that looks horrible!

 :shock:

[joker777]

not so sure about that, the proportions of the cab are all wrong, but the idea is good, why not just get a crew cab ?

[wonderboy]

Somthing like this Steve? Have thought doing somthing similar to mine.

[Guardian.]

i think they look good, but what the hell do i know?

Because they cost £10k upwards!!

that looks horrible!

 :shock:

Hmmm. Well, it certainly provoked wildly differing views  :lol:

Originally it was thought of purely on a practical basis. So I could chuck things like garden rubbish, hay bales, etc in the back without having to sort out the mess afterwards. I am still thinking I will go for it, but we'll see.

I'm sure you could get a nice old series truck cab back and a defender truck cab roof and mod to suit which it think would look 100% better...

I'm sure you could get a nice old series truck cab back

But I couldn't have the rear door in it then. Not easily, anyway. It would be too far back to open fully inside the rear deck. I could throw my side windows away and use 90 hard top sides with shorter windows, but then the inside starts getting a bit tight for space.

It's a bit of a balancing act between pickup bed and interior space.

I need to do a bit more accurate measuring up and see what I can do.

[Littledan]

i like the look of that steve!

[davidlandy]

it was just my view

I like the CSW look on a 110 not the pickup

if you like then go for it!

 :D
