60 Soft Top
Well since my last trip ( the first with my turbo intercooler setup ) to our nice Baru Volcano here in Panama .. and hace a nice up trip .
Mates ejoy the route ..
video .. ( quick time needed )
http://4x4panama.com/Tapage/paseos/V...nvideo2007.MOV
And sure fun factor for me ..
But .. not always are smiles ..
As you know shit happens .
yess sr .. I rolled my lovely Tencha ..
Long story short .. break a brake line .. ( steel braided BTW ) and my transfer pull out my 4L to N .. ( bad time ) 1.5 turn .. and thats it ..
Mechanical sparkling ( unless my brake line ) so my plans are ..

Isn't the roof caved in up to the edge of the windshield? How are you going to fix that?

Oh no, not tencha!!! Well you always complained about the rust up there anyway. Why not bob the back if you are going to take the top off anyhow?

Ouch... Chamo!
My condolences, but like they've said in earlier posts here, at least you seem to be alright.
I'm sorry to see The cousin of The R.O.M. down (but not out!).

Oh man, that is a shame. I'm glad to hear you are allright. That thing will look great with a soft top, though. Keep us posted.

so sorry about your cruiser mate!!, and you just got the intercooler done, that sucks! i always enjoy reading your posts because your english is just a little off, kind of like fez off of that 70's show. i guess your projects are not going to end for a while now!
i like the idea of doing up a cruiser like the brown one but with a rollcage off of the front section.

Is it bad that I've always hoped, just a little, that a tree would fall on the back of my cruiser so I could do the same thing.....Not that I want my cruiser to hurt, but I don't have and excuse to do it, so I never will.
