Flat top to pop top

Postby Tigs » Tue Jul 22, 2014 12:50 am

Amazingly I have jus managed to source a pop top roof for my mk5 smiley. I have a swb low roof van that have decided to convert. Couldn't believe managed get a pop too. Didn't know they existed. So slowly formulating a plan for van. I need to make units that can be removed easily for when I need vanfor other purposes or people asking me to move house for them lol. So slide in slide out units I think. Lookin forward to getting things going. I have a vw t25 camper that now in process of selling as need funds for transit changes.
Here's hoping goes ok.

This could be interesting! A 'convertible' smiley with a pop top ... the whole concept of having a removable camper is intriguing ...
