Cheers for the coms fellas. Nice to know people will still acknowledge me even after my crime :)
 
welcome to the convert crew mate ;) it looks great fitted.

these buses are built to be used and if fitting a pop makes it suit your family better then it is the best for your bus as it will get more use.

i used the front cab area off the donor bus as a template and have stashed it at the back of my workshop should anyone ever take this kind of swap on again.

Cheers for that, I couldn't agree more.
I don't know if you noticed any similarities in the way I did it, but your thread totally inspired me to do it the way I did. Fortunately for me my cross members were still intact.

Cheers for coms Just.
 
About time you updated this, how long has the poptop actually been fitted ;) ;)
Looking good mate and happy to say you have bigger dogs danglies than me :lol:

Don't know fella. You sold your pride and joy, takes alot of balls to do that, especially knowing what you put into it.

i think it is the best way to do it. you could have simply cut a hole and made a frame but this way gives better strength, and looks original, as vw intended. i think it was the rag top beetle roof swap in volksworld that inspired me to go for it though he did it with a spot welder which i dont have. I am soo pleased i did as the existing hole was huge!!!!! and rusty. :)
 
Good job well done Leon,

I love the colour, I think you should never paint it................................ever, ever, ever :D
 
Glad you finally 'came out' mate :lol:
You've been super busy, it looks sweet. There will be 2 amazing Westy's in Le Landes this summer 8)

Cheers again for coms.
