				Poptop L400

				Coming soon to a Canadian country near you this spring  
 
 
It will receive the usual unusual touches and upgrades.  
 
Likely, I will have a fresh canvas sewn, cabinetry ~ ala ~ RichD, suspension lift/mods, etc.. done once it arrives. 
I'm quite excited. Have never seen another like this before. A LWB and middle bench seat to boot.

				There will definitely be a full camping unit inside, how can there not ?  
 
RichD is the master camper builder  

  , so I will be approaching him on this one. 
I will most likely get rid of the spare tire underneath to free up that bulk area and mount it on a swing out carrier. Extra fuel or water tank would go there. Possibly a webasto or espar diesel heater.
It's going to be a fun build.

				Cannot wait to see what you do with this Canvas...
Talk to Jay about restoring that roof, he knows his fibreglass....
I also have an industrial sewing machine if need.  It does not do fancy but punches through tough materials...

				I'll take you up on the sewing machine offer !
I'm sure the usual suspects will have their hands in this one.

				Happy New Year Jesse!
Looking at the photo of your L400; I have the same wheels, but how the hell do you get them that clean?
