Subject:Re: converting gl to be more camp-able (FREE TOP)

>>Been there, done that. A pop-top conversion is not as difficult as it
seems. I have done several VW campers because I prefer my own layout like
the full width bed in the back, the hanging rear cabinet that actually has
some space because the roof curve is still there, the extra length bed,
side windows in the canvas, etc. It can be done without welding. It is
mostly wood work. Total completion in a weekend is a bit ambitious though. 

Bjorn, I'm real interested in adding the hanging rear cabinet to my 84
Weekender.  Did you make one yourself or did you scavenge one of a westy?  How
does it install?  Do you have pictures?  

Thanks,
