I have done it  7 times, 3 with poptops, 2 on Syncros. It is well worth
the effort. Best done with the donor Westy nearby so you can take
measurements for cutting and drilling the recipient as you go. It is not
hard unless you try to follow the crazy methods posted in a few web
pages. You do not need any roof or body metal from the donor. No welding
is required, no repainting is required.

I am scheduled to put a poptop on a friends Syncro next month and I may
attempt to document the process for anyone who cares.
