The finished product.......
But I didn`t like the size of the back window in comparison to the side windows so I chopped the fu**er!

Started thinking about the dash and have decided to make a modified Oval Dash Grille. I want just one instrument panel in the centre of the dash so in my tradition of using only VW parts I used 2 Grilles that I had knocking around and............

Did a bit more work on the grille today (after working on a guy`s Split Single Cab gates, never again!!!).

Made up a steel ring the same diameter as the speedo trim ring so it would locate nicely over it and also give me something to weld the bars to.
I welded it in place first and then cut the bars out of the centre. Works well I think. Could be a genuine accessory!
