hi,

the interior is not reimo. nor is the poptop. I have been trying to buy
these tops in germany over the last months to no success..... i got no offer
under $1000. but let me post some of the links to the manufacturer
catalogues: ooooops, i just see that vwpix, who was hosting them, is offline
since the beginning of the month....  i have the weinsberg catalogues here
so i upload them to my webpage:   see it here
www.outdoorinsider.blogspot.com
the manufacturers website is
http://www.weinsberg.com/de/pages/modelle/modelle/modelle.html or just
weinsberg.com they are now making vancampers on renault chassis.
the van linked in this thread before was converted by carthago,
www.carthago.com

if i find my carthago catalogues i will publish them.
please note that i suspect that vwpix is down due to copyright issues. I may
therefore take the post down in a few days. please just download it by
clicking on it, so you get a big version, and then right-click and save as.

I have been repeatedly toying with the idea of making my own mold for a
hightpoptop.... is this completely undoable?

have fun
flo
