westfalia pop tops and hightop are different width/length/shape. I measured and checked (since I have both).
unfortunately, it's a no go unless you tear it apart which defeats the purpose of the monocoque design.

I'm already looking at making a fiberglass mold to use as a hightop camper for the L400.
I have heard its best to hone your glassing skills making flares and spoilers!

Right on!

Too small/complex.
A one piece fiberglass top is easier to make depending on how rigid/resign/glass you use.
Friend of mine builds small boats and he's made a few diy camper tops that look nice. Similar to the adventurewagon westy's.

do you mean mine or Jessies? if you mean mine, the LWB I got it from Japan, it was VERY expensive and the grill on mine is Stainless, not chrome. has Stainless step on the side, and full stainless exhaust.
I cant speak for the other one as its not one of mine. but if you would like one similar to mine, send me an email, Im looking at a similar one , but done up like this , they are not cheap.
This one is Mine.

Hahahahahaha, no he isent tall, but to give you an idea, the Delica is on 35" tires. I think the body lift might come out of it once it gets here, but the suspension lift stays
this is the van in Japan, as its the only Delica I've seen with the upgrades to safely and easily tow a large boat, I knew it was for me. a Delica than can match what my landcruiser can tow , now thats the van I want for this dual vehicle family.

This van is also available. for may/june departure from Japan,

It seems the L400s lend themselves to lifting much better than the L300s. Is this because there is no panel-shaving required when installing larger tires?

they are just larger, larger wider components, easier to lift, more stable.more power, more speed,
they are just More of everything, and since they are the newest version, there are more options for them, both from Mits, and aftermarket.
