Sheldon Hightop

We need to be able to stand up in the bus, nice as it is the sunroof just isn’t practical often enough in this country and definitely not at night!
So I’ve acquired a Sheldon top and made a start renovating it.


Power washed the outside then flipped it to scrape all the mouldy headliner and insulation out.



Soaked it with bleach mould remover then gave it a rinse



Needs a bit more scraping of glue!

Flipped it back and gave it a once over with 500s on the DA , will fibreglass the vent holes up tomorrow and paint it.

 

Wow it looks amazing

 

going to have lots of head room when that's on - although side winds may be interesting when driving.

you could work out some way of making it removable - that way you'd have the option of going boating too

 

Didn’t have much time today just managed to move it inside and glass the vent holes up!

 

Will you be putting alternative vents in dunc?

 

Yes, small sliding window each side!

 

Filled the holes

Painted the white bit, just need to leave it a day so I can mask for the yellow bit!





Started undressing him in readiness

 

Not 100% sure yet, we’ll see when it’s on plus it needs side windows!

 

Looks ace!
Are you tempted to add some stripes to match the van?

 

Yes definitely but I’ll see when it’s on and windows fitted

 

Looks well Dunc.

 

Cleaned up the gutters



Stuck it on



Ordered some narrow sliding vent windows for the sides, it’s really warm in there today but it’ll help the glue go off !

 

That looks ace!

 

Looks loads better than I expected

 

I like it, but then I’m a fan of safare roofs too

 

No need , it’s got factory sliding roof, same hole as westy’s use!
