After a tree fell on our 1989 Classic, I thought what a great convertible this would make.

what about a full Lexan clear top, ala Jurassic Park's ford explorers?

What are you going to do?

I am having a vinyl snap on top made.

That is a good idea, I had not thought about a clear top.

I love the one pic of 3 rovers...one with hood up on ramps!!! Goes to the ol' Jag saying..."buy two, one to drive while the other is in the mechanics workshop!!"

Go clear plastic - with a roll back liner to keep the sun out!

Maybe you should look into a westfalia, you know a popup camper!
That would be sweet.

That is the truth. One is always needing something. The silver 1990 is the one with the snowplow on it. I just got the blue one, it needs an engine. Even with all the trouble they cause, I still like them.

Hey there, what did you end up doing to the 'convertable' ? I have a 1988 SWB that I'm thinking of making a cabrio

 

[BullDogSix]

Uhhh...Holy old thread! How many pages back was this?

 

[AndrewG]

The power of Google !

It is though a great topic going into the summer

I have a 1988 SWB which I bought for parts, but when I went to pick it up and pull it onto the float, I brought some gas and a battery. After 5 years sitting in a field she fired up first time ! Now I still need to buys parts, but I can't part her out

So a new lease of life is needed, and I think a RR Cabrio is a GREAT way to do it :drive:

 

[BullDogSix]

Is this going to be a "fun only" kinda vehicle?

If so, I'd cut EVERYTHING from the door tops up, off...even the windshield (save the good parts to sell or keep). Then fab a tube roll cage, drop a "bikini" type top on for sun and away you go...summer fun!

Now that is a great idea! Make on hell of a BOV.
