Are you going to drill the screen for that piano hinge then ?

 

Looks good mate

 

No mate fabricated a frame same as rear window and is goes all around the window them weld the piano hinge to frame

Then where does the hinge attach to the body?

 

Along the top, I would say in the outer part

 

It's curved though, I'm doubtful but we'll see

 

Yes mate same as the normal safaris

Wow, really cracking on. That screens mental! Guess i could carry a spare screen if i did that to mine lol!

 

Not really sure about the front screen! From a safety point or an engineering point . The screen must hold some structural strength in the event of an accident ?? Great work

 

It's only gonna be a trial mate may not work
