If you use a different chassis you may run foul of those nice registration people.( unless someone knows different) You may end up with an illegal vehicle & all the problems with insurance claims etc & we all know how eager insurance companys are to pay out.

I'm looking for a hard top for a series 2 swb in good nick. In the essex or there abouts area. With a door if poss. Anyone got one they'd sell ?

Been close to that a lot of times.I've got hairy ears (no rude remarks please) & i hear the hair crackling in there sometimes. One of the blokes at work was cutting overhead (oxy)& a large blob of molten metal went down his neck. He leaned forward to try to minimise burns & it ran down into his...
