Doors + Cage = might work :)

Due to the up and come road trip to Switzerland this year, I though I would have a go at fitting some doors for the motorway runs. 

Little bit heath robinson but, fingers crossed they'll work on the road, they just need testing and some straps for the back of the doors

I trimmed the bottom of the doors off and they fit really well. Also went back to soft bits 4 7s left the car there and Jill made me a new roof,pretty much a full roof,really pleased with it. The westy is in bits at the moment as soon as i get it back together i will post some pictures.

I cut the mirror castings off they just touched the cage. Save a bit of weight as well :d

Have you hinged your doors, so you can open them to get in when the roofs on??

I have not been out in the rain yet but I am expecting it to be ok. You can see the rubber guttering on the roof which should guide the water past the doors.

I took the top hinges off because they was fouling against the cage. But I found the easiest way is to get in then put the door on it goes on easy when your inside.
