How much do you think it would cost to convert a pickup into a hardtop? Either 90 or 110? Ballpark figures are fine.

You could do it yourself relatively easy, if you can get a mate to help lift it...

There are a few on ebay...

If you are seriously thinking about turning a 110 pickup into a hardtop I have a rear tub, the sides and the roof from a 1986 110 sitting in my back garden that I have been trying to get rid of.
All you will need is rear door.
It took me about 2 hours to strip the back end off on my own so I imagine that with two compertant Diy`ers you could get it done in a day.
Also alot of people out there are after the stuff to convert a hardtop to a pickup so I think you could sell the bits you take off and make back any cost,(Except labour if you get someone else to do it).
If you want the back and want a hand to change over I would be happy to help.

Of course you don't have to swop the rear tub, the hardtop & door are all that you will need (along with the relevant fixings etc).

My 90 used to be a hardtop, bought a truck cab, made a bottom hinged rear door. Now on soft top, got rid of the TC, asked my local LR fixer and he reckoned a 90 hardtop with windows and rear door worth about 400 notes, add in some new seals and a few bits and bobs (you might need door hinges fitted and lock striker fittings) so prob 500 notes would leave you some beer tokens for the mate you'll want to hold roof/sides.

Used to take me 1/2 day to change over from full top to truck cab (on my own - why I have  a bad back!)
