Ronny S Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Could you use something like this? Made in Denmark, and looks very good. Don't see much of it when closed. Ronny S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoSS Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was pondering this for my 110 some time ago. I love the elegant solution of the ParkRanger conversions of the 60's, which also add width, but fold into a standard looking vehicle. Not an easy DIY job, but nice.http://www.expeditio.../parkRanger.htm Have a look at my old thread here: http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=52048 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulnb57 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Anyone know if the Plans/Drawings for the Carawagon Elevating Roof are available anywhere? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This could fit with a bit of modding ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-BONGO-FORD-FREDA-AUTO-FREETOP-ELECTRIC-ELEVATING-ROOF-COMPLETE-KIT-/260920493788?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc012c6dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wunntenn Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think I'd want to fit it the other way round though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just the GRP section here for a bit less: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-BONGO-CAMPER-ROOF-SHELL-AUTOFREE-TOP-SPARES-REPAIR-FORD-FREDA-ELEVATING-/140677357856?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20c1062120#ht_583wt_1270 I was wondering about doing this with a 90. It would end up a rather compact camper though... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 you could always buy an old scrapped vw Type 25/ type 3 camper from the 1980's/90's, the one that looks like a brick, (actually called 'brikkies). you would want the westfailia one really, and cut off the roof panel, then graft this onto a smooth roof for the 110, using the vw roof as a method of fixing. You'd obviously need to check width, but they are wider than older vw campers. Have a search on 'the brickyard' its a forum site, but DO NOT...... i repeat DO NOT be tempted to look at ANY vw SYNCRO campers.. or any associated LINKS to videos, of for sale links. You will end up wanting one of these puppies more than any thing else in the world. Imagine a fully kitted pop top camper, with 4x4 and diff locks as std. vitually no overhang front or rear, these things are like mountain goats.... I'll stop now. eg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget the face of some drivers at the last Abingdon 4x4 Festival, one of the marshals had a Syncro and was pulling people from the mud run in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyNissanPrairie Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 my parent in laws have a T25, and me and the wife do all the VW camper shows with our business, always constant banter between them and us VW vs LR and I must say I've had a good natter with the Syncronauts on many an occasion but having done plenty of work on the PIL's T25 there is no chance I'd ever buy one !!!! Its always fun being (usually) the only Landrover in a field of 1000's of VW campers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightpot Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Just had a dig through my snaps and found this I saw in SA. I'd like to see someone put together the UK version using a length of piano hinge, trailer tarp, gaffer tape and of course, some chequer plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoSS Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Its a beautiful place, i've been there twice over the years. Will always remember sitting on the rocks with a bottle of red, watching a whale breaching in the sunset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
