[Super Exceeded]

I remeber the optimizim of the begining of a "simple" project. Good luck and post pix.

Ever thought about doing something like that? You can still buy the kit for it...

[thedjjack]

do you have a link to the kit? probably not an option as I may need the ability to sleep bodies up there in the future.

Not sure which one is a good fit for a low roof Delica.

My vote would be for Hitop though, stealthy and practical year round.

Karim has a really nice poptop green Delica.

I would like to have one like this.

I was looking at that posting.....no comment other then I will be ahead cutting my roof off and building myself will save me around $9000.00 (I included the purchase price of my Delica in that (I estimate the hightop will cost me around $500.00 in materials)).

Plus I already have a furnace, sink, water, stove, toilet, cooler, inverter, LED lights and I must say the nicest slideout on a Delica I have ever seen!

Not to mention a Ghetto Snorkel (in stock at Rona for around $40.00).

Cheers

Pop-tops must be fitted in the factory. They are engineer and RTA approved and cannot be fitted by an unqualified person. Suncamper will not supply pop-top components with instructions.

Thanks for the links..

Looking like Hi Top is winning since I just bought a hi top roof of a 90s Dodge van. Just have to go take it off and then start cutting it down to fit and re-glass it back together.

Cut a large hole. add some bracing and paint. put the modified roof on. simple enough! Sounds easy.

You have explained your project the same simple way I thought mine out! I'd tell you a little secret about your thought process, but I think I'll just let you figure it out!!! ;)
Can't wait to see it.

I know it will be a little more work then expected.....it is not like I am adding a third axle!

That motor running yet?

Nope, I broke the oil return line and have one on order at Japanoid, till I get that I have a large paper weight in the driveway.
