sorted now - garage is currently rewelding the arch panel with a new mounting point. ended up with the missus sat in the back

hi, thanks for the replies. i agree i think it is a design flaw and could easily have been avoided! thats why i'd prefer to use a new mounting position than rely on rusty metal/welded up patches! but anyway i intend to get the panel/hole looked at and any rottens bits taken out and welded up but we ...

hi sorry if this has been covered before but i couln't find anything using the search function today i replaced the driver seatbelt with a new one from JK. all went fine, but the bolt holding the end of the seatbelt in the arch area next to the seat was very stiff. gave it some stick and it shifted,...

cheers guys - look great! our hi-top is single skin fibreglass, so trying to keep as much heat in as possible would be good! thinking of carpet roof with vinyl floor, not decided on sides yet - maybe carpet up to window/worktop height and vinyl or painted wood above that (ours is a converted van wit...

hi everyone we're doing a DIY conversion on our 1986 T25 1.9 petrol. just looking for inspiration on how to line the inside of our leisuredrive hi-top the last owner had stuck some sections of carpet onto the inside but we want to take this off and put something a little nicer up there. also we have...
