well the bug is  home the plan was swb buggy but that's down the iva route I also love bajas but after close inspection its got the standard heater channel/boot floor root so maybe lwb buggy but Im not a great lover of lwb roofs unless someone can post some pics if good shaped ones.so please help as im ready to crack on with it cheers.....

If your building it then the roof is how you decide to have it made..... On my LWB I use a support bar that lifts up with the roof so it clears the passengers heads in the rear seats but doesn't lift it above the centre roll bar.

Don't be afraid of the IVA! I will mean you have a good, safe car

If I was building a buggy from scratch I would plan in the IVA and build it to pass. You just have to think about things a bit differently.

We designed the Doon shell with SVA book in hand (at teh time - now IVA).

That's why it has return edges around the whole shell, the rear arches actually cover 10inch wheels, the speedo and switces are recessed in, wiring tubes on both sides and across the back, headlights in the right position etc etc.....

Why do you need a roof, we have waterproof seat covers and a sun top for shelter, but somerset is wetter than most places may be an idea to make it amphibious

after looking at muzzy,s buggys with the soft top up I think lwb is for me  good I need to do some hours to pay for it
