That is amazing work. I have a Patrol that was originally imported into Colombia with a very similar hardtop. I really like having the hardtop, but I am thinking that a soft top would be equally enjoyable. Is your hardtop removable, or is your Patrol strictly a soft top now? If you made it a removable hardtop, would really like to see how you did it.
Thanks.
Don.
Thanks Don. This White Patrol is not mine. We have remove the hard top and install our frame and accesories. The idea of our customer is transform his car the most original posible. All hard top installed in Colombia, is not easy to remove, I mean no to interchange from hard top - soft top or reverse. The hard top of this Patrol is made of fiberglass and was mounted mainly with bolts but the body was drilled and windshield modified to adjust hard top. On the other hand is heavy. Me and 3 more men were neccesary to lift the hard top. At the end my advise is if you enjoy your car on hard top, keep as it is because is not easy interchange. But if you want transform your car on original versión, I am ready to build the parts for you.
The soft top is removable easily. All is bolted and lightweight. After remove the canvas one person remove all the frame on 20 minutes or less
Please let me know any doubt
Thanks
