q-rover Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Make it shiny and perfect. Tidy it up and give it some TLC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If it ain't broke, don't fix it Tony! If it is not a daily driver you can allow a little more panel damage perhaps? Traybacking raises the spectre of SVA, asuming you cut the chassis off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 what's the daily driver going to be Tony? If it's not a 4x4 what do you plan to use for a Wales trips etc. when a TC or trayback would be a pain in the derrier. IF it's just for competition then I'd personally go for a TC. Never been keen on traybacks. If you want to go that far it seems much better to go for a custom build around a Range Rover or Disco chassis like RogueVogue etc. But then what are you going to pull the trailer with?

white90 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Steve DD Vals old Merc C class and still a diesel you're right Steve I'd forgotten about trips just focusing on James series of events coming up. Bish more panel damage SVA I'd rather avoid getting involved with to really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Leave it as it is.... hard top 90 ideal for laning trips, your kit stays dry in the back, fairly secure, worst case you can kip in the back. and it won't cost you anything to leave it as it is either.

white90 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Jim keeping kit dry was my reason for buying/keeping a H/T so I guess keeping it as is will as you say be the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Is there anything it doesn't do that you'd like it to? Modding for the sake of modding seems a little daft.If there's nothing to do - enjoy playing with it instead of fixing it, a crazy notion I know If you're really bored then there's any number of things you could play with - perhaps source a spare engine and have a go at home porting, LPG injection and all that malarky, see what you can do when you're not having to worry about getting it fixed. Oh yeah - definitely don't trayback it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Pointy Thing Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 you can kip in the back. I've tried many a time and it never happens.....no matter how drunk you are, it always ends up being the front seat. Leave it as it is.....hard top all the way!!

Guest WALFY Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Keept as it is Tony. I'm considering a driving holiday in mine, and am seriously contemplating converting back to hardtop for the trip.For Wales a truck cab is fine. I have a tonneau cover for it and for a weekend away I have a 140L NorthFace bag, which holds 2 sleeping bags, tent, spare clothes and most of the cooking kit I need. So all the important stuff is kept dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
