thhe roof rails appear to be bolted in from underneath- possibly requiring the removal of thee roof trim inside.

I think there are better or similar gains to be hadd elsewhere with less work?

I'll bear them in mind though.


crank driven fan replaced with electric one is on the list- just need to find one that costs less than a full tank of LPG to make it worthwhile..

cheers for the suggestions fellas
