Re: Hitop to pop top
I changed my high-top to a Reimo pop-top last year and it all went pretty smoothly and I'm happy with the result. The pop-top was second hand via this forum and I was lucky that the actual roof of my van was in good nick at the corners and I did all the work myself so the cost was not too great. But...

Re: Paint Your Wagon - with a roller!
Well, after a rather erratic and slow approach to sorting out my van (I bought Covkid's down load back in the spring) I have just ordered the Combicolor from Avenue Coatings.
