Angus,

I have not picked up the top yet which is why I was looking for
feedback. The Vanagon version is a bit on the crude and flimsy side
IMHO. The Eurovan version looks more integrated to the appearance of
the Eurovan. I'm guessing the Vanagon top will be easier to adapt to
your intended purpose. I thought about having a mold pulled on a CH
Vanagon top extended to look like a Westy luggage rack in front. Got
rid of my Syncro CH so project was abandoned.

Extending the front would mean having a custom canvas made. Cu$tom a
$lway$ co$t more.
