Now that is what I'm talking about, very nice, did you do the conversion yourself?
no. But I am rebuilding it - ground up rebuild.. replacing central fuel tank, replacing wings, sills, floorpan and rear end (with rangie rear drop down tailgate and lights)... oh and facelift Disco front end.
Remember rear door skins are ally(birmabright) so you could easily get round that with some fibreglass and epoxy.
Why not use 3dr skins like mine?

I dont want to buy anything
What i was thinking, ill remove the window frame, chop the whole door to the right width to match the roof cut, plate up the opening i leave, cut the window frame to same width and somehow get it back in the door,weld a peice of plate into the glass hole.
Then weld the whole thing to the b pillar and wherever else theres steel.
If that makes sense
Perfect sense.

Add in delivery and VAT
Would make more sense to buy the whole kit at that point.
Im trying not to spend a lot on it tbh,
It might not look factory, but its only going to be a spare work truck so i dont ruin the 110 (i realise how silly that sounds lol)
Did you leave the B pillar in place?

Yep, i cut it along the outside of the strengther on the roof, and along the bottom of the step for the rear seats.
I love an all action thread, this escalated rather fast
how you gonna close the back of the roof?

Im thinking a peice of 2mm with some reinforcing box section welded on.
I know a flat peice of steel isnt going to look amazing but itll work
then box in the sides against the b pillar. Ive not worked it all out yet though, i need to have a proper think

Get in, I too am waiting for better weather.
You got a sketch up of what the back end is going to look like or you keeping it a surprise?
