Have to say it was a very smart move to use the original roof frame!

Hats off to your improvisation and creativity!

Look at the side profile.... Looks nice now...

Coming out very nicely. Do you plan to add some flat iron strips in between the large gaps in each of three sections of roof. The soft top would get a bit more support if you fill those three big sections with some sort of flat strips so the roof won't sag in, just an idea. Also if you could raise the back side of the roof a little, if it is not already secured. Right now it looks a little too dropped down from the back end of the roof when looking at side profile.

Sorry Bro i am unable to get the point, you started this job keeping in mind the convertible soft top and all the body modification was done accordingly. Now you are installing the same old roof by just giving it some more bends and shape. I want to ask whether you are going to modify the vehicle from double door to single door just ? sorry if i am wrong cx this would have done without spending whole six months :0

He he, Sir this is not the same old roof top... It is only the original structure, which has been made retractable and it can fold backwords (4 segments), once the roof is not required . Leather roof will be fitted on this structure.....
We have converted it into a soft top. with collapsible roof.

I think you missed my post, in which we were making this roof.

tht old roof has been modified to fold back, as in convertibles bro...

UsmanAftab (UsmanAftab) 2015-04-29 04:44:32 +0500 #275

Well the thick frame and it's installation way is not letting me getting the clear picture ... i hope and wish this turns out to be some thing extra ordinary

bro what about Silver/Chromed Rod/pipes??

ZAZTEK (ZAZTEK) 2015-04-29 08:10:17 +0500 #277

Temporarily we have removed those pipes... for fitting the roof.....

thats one neat looking ride you got there!
but desperately need a drop!

since you are already altering majority of the car i would suggest an air bag setup which can be used to lower and raise the ride when required !
i have got some plans if

bravo122 (bravo122) 2015-05-02 12:30:49 +0500 #280

evry thing is available in pakistan or manufactured locally other than the air bags!
