was doing a bit of thinking last night (night shift - i have a lot of time on my hands) and was tossing up the merits of starting another project or doing something with the troopster. I've got the standard troopcarrier rust in the turret and was toying with the idea of soft topping it from the B pillars back. Keeping the B pillars, cutting over the roof to keep a hardtop front bit, and taking it level with the bottom of the existing slider windows. Two hoop rollbars, and a canvas canopy, and a fold down one piece tailgate.
Pros - It would help get the centre of gravity down, It doesn't sound particularly hard panel beating wise, probably easier than fixing the turret. It may not cost any more considering a new turret skin is 2k from toyota
and hand building up new metal instead would involve a lot of labour costs.Cons - Security. and finding mounting points for the RV seats. It may be a RTA magnet even if it gets engineered, and would increase the risk of getting pinged for other stuff.
Can i get your thoughts on whether it would look cool, or how hard they think it would be. And if anyone can photo chop an example it would be appreciated
