Westy roof rack revamp : )

[lemur]

Some Pics of how I've kept out of the shi*e weather

Thought I'd tidy the roof rack up before it goes back on..following the resto like..
This included..
*new seal (plus sneaky non-standard one around inside)
*full prep n paint in cloud white.. Thanks to my man "Tonicman"
*original roof bars replaced with 18mm sapele hardwood latts.. sanded and clear coated twice.
*re-chrome hook/bracket thingys

I'm sure its not to everyones taste and nor am I the 1st to do it.. but chuffed I am arty0009:

take a butchers,,

Will drop some pics of the new ww canvas too when i fit the rack,getting excited now!

Very nice, good job. I have looked at mine recently and wondered what to do with it.

Love it. Where did you get the seals from?

HeeBeeGB..had the seal left over from another project but found you some on flea bay,pretty common place http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STD-Black-Car-EDGE-TRIM-SEAL-Interior-Exterior-PVC-Rubber-Van-Boat-Truck-/220946295540?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item33716ceaf4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


NellyM...yeah I felt the same,not really many options is there, thinking about keeping the spare up there with some vintage leather strapping etc....

Cheers
