I removed the roof from an older van but i have seen older vans in the past on ebay with the same roof i would think they are getting a bit rare now i like this one as it has a good storage bit on the top for the awning.

The glue i used was bought from ebay its used to stick body kits on ill get you the item number if you need it hope ive answered your questions and thanks for looking at the photo's

im in the process of welding the rear floor at the moment im being to think transits should come with a free welder they are rusty beasts lol.
