Good Evening Everyone,
I've recently been looking at replacing my 200TDI defender Truck cab, In Favour of a Disco. The main reason was for carting my expanding famiy so I need more seats.
However, after a great pay and play day at Slindon Safari this weekend, I'm having second thoughts.

What Iwas thinking of doing is converting my truck cab to a hard top station wagon. From what i can see the truck cab just un bolts and I bolt on the new roof, sides and back door.

Is this feasable or is there anything I need to know before I do this.

For example, is this legal? do I need to tell DVLA? how do i connect seats and seat belts etc. at the end of the day, this conversion is to allow me to carry my kids in the car on the odd occasion?

If anyone has experience with this sort of thing, it would be well appreciated.

Cheers

John

its fairly easy if you can hold and use a spanner/socket the insurance company will need to know
your biggest problem is seats and belts for the rugrats tbh
but all possible thouigh just how much cash you want to throw at it ;)
 
thanks, Certainly need to tell my Insurance company.

Rear Seats will be Ebay or one the many retailers in the UK. Probably going to go for Lasalle Interior trim and head lining.
 
hi are you selling your truck cab or are you interested in a swap for a county roof with headlining and a pair of sides pm me if your interested
