I don't mind giving you a hand, shall I swing by after work one night and have a look?

Yeah mate that would be awesome, I think guys over tomorrow if you want to stop by?

[RandomJord]

So now the roofs reattached.... And I've missed the entire summer....

It's going up for sale! I'm looking to start a T4/T5 dayvan project from scratch as that's more what I need/use it for.

So if anyone's interested, come see me!

but parked up for how long

I've had a thought right..... Came to me whilst watching Custom My Car.... Hear me out!

I don't really want or need the pop top on my van.

My thinking is take it off, sort out the dirty roof rust, and replace the hole with some sort of plexiglass arrangement, possibly an opening roof type thing

Has this been done before? Anyone recomend a shop for the job?

These vans were occasionally supplied with a huge sliding sunroof as an option.

If you can find one of these that's been cut off a rotten van you could get it fitted by a good bodyshop.  You will need the whole roof section, but they are cool as hell.

[RandomJord]

I cant even track down a high top so i doubt i'll be any good at finding one of them!

Sounds awesome though

Don't know if you could adapt a ragtop from an earlier bus or maybe even a polo?

I guess if from a polo it wouldn't really be long enough.
