Man ... that's literally criminal given the roof provides critical structural integrity - I inquired on that car a long time ago and he did not divulge that information.

His logic was that the car had been converted to soft top properly, so all the strength was in the car already and the new roof was not providing structural integrity.

GUT Posted 25April, 2018 Report Share Posted 25April, 2018 In fairness, he didn’t actually use jbweld to glue the roof on. God help me, I once read through the ‘build’ thread. He was taking the piss a bit about that. Unfortunately, that sh!t sticks. Pardon the pun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, there is an engineers certificate for the soft top conversion and that was all above board, but that misses the real point. I believe you still need to get an engineers report on adding the new roof and that had not been obtained, as far as i am aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm passing through Brisbane and considering taking a look along with a few other options in the area. Regarding RHD conversions, does anyone have any specific method for review/evaluation of the work performed? Any feedback would be appreciated... Thanks.

First check the smugglers box and door mirrors. If it has a RHD (small) smugglers box then someone unstitched the panels and welded in the right ones, so the rest of the job is probably very good. The mirrors are actually in a different spot, and if they are not shifted, probably not a great job done. Same goes for the floor and window switches. Basically if it looks factory probably a good job. If it looks amateur then a bad job. Some people spent big money getting cars done in the eighties and nineties, and they should drive no differently.

And check the dash arrangement - the ignition switch, ventilation controls etc will be in the proper rhd location in a good conversion.

I spoke to the owner today and he did mention that a hole was drilled through the compliance plate and erased one of the VIN numbers, but then the VIN is right beside it on the body shell and the Rego papers so is that really a concern regarding authenticity and value...?
