The ragtop on my 109 is well past it's sell by date, so i was going to put a truck cab on it.....but my truck cab has gone walkies

So i spent an hour or so sticking a hard top and side's off an 88" on to the 109.
At first i kinda liked it, but now im not so sure :doh:
I need idea's.....anyone

It was sat down the side of the driveway for at least two years, then one day it went missing

If it wasn't for this poxey rain, i wouldn't bother with a roof, but you know what the british weather is like.

I like that, i like that alot

How did you go about chopping it down? I dont know where to start.
Any advice would be fanfrickintastic.
Cheers dude :beer2:

The only way i can see it being done (on my landie anyway) is to drill out the rivets that hold the back panel/windows/door and remove it in one lump, then cut off what i dont need of the roof and side's, then re-rivet the rear end back on.....sound's simples innit....but i have those (3) ridges that run from front to back, on the roof.
How the feck can i make a tidy job of it??
