we have a spare roof, so we are going to chop that one and weld it in, totally gut the interior and get it cleaned up.

It may be ugly but it has individual character. how many others around are there like that.

I especially like the gas bottle mount. How about putting the spare on the other side and go Baja.

never seen one of those roofs on such an early model. i had one on a late split (65?) as does a guy in Tassie, believe the fibreglass roofs were made
in melbourne somewhere. also interesting to see it is a micro, mine was a panel and my gas bottle had a prupose built roofrack. looks to be in
pretty good shape overall.

I wouldn't be too quick to chuck the roof. Be worth finding out who made them and when the conversion was done. It looks almost as good as the
factory hightop...almost I say. Certainly different to you average bear, and I usually hate pop tops.
I'm with 77bay too, love the gas bottle mount, but don't go baja!

Marty has already saved about 6 splitties, one is in the paintshop getting built to original, the next he is working on to get it a nice and low
cruiser and then there is the camper. We need parts to help get these other projects rolling along.
