| I want his doors...very rare removable window hoops on them to turn them into half doors. Would look really cool on my BJ74 without the FRP top on. |

| Thats rare alright ,Ive never seen a 70 with removable windscreen in oz.
Can all the removable 70 windscreens fold down like that?
I was told they cant,so does this have special hinges or was my source wrong? | |

| Way cool. Never seen a 70 with a soft top.
One of you Canuck buggers should buy it.

I would imagine there would also be some sort of rests on the hood for the windshield? | |

| that is the winter project for me, use the fatory 70 soft top for a pattern and extend the prototype to a 74 wheel base, make the proper hoops and instead of the rear doors have a flip down tail gate and a rool up back window...
cheers

| Hoooahhhh....
I'm the lucky winner of the eBay auction on the ragtop BJ70. I've been looking at them for a long time, searching the classifieds and watching them come in through places like Outback, Luxury and Mustang...but I just stumbled across this auction the day before yesterday. Coincidentally, I had also just sold my Ford 4x4 pick-up, which allowed me to have the cash on hand to make this deal.
I'm picking her up in Vancouver tommorrow, and I'm excited as hell. She'll have a good life her on the Island, and I hope to attend some rallies next year with you folks.
Hope I can sleep tonight.
