Hey that looks awesome, but have you given any thought on how you are going to roll down your windows. I guess my question is where is the glass going to go? The door modification is really cool and maybe you have already figured it out but I was just wondering. Great project.

I'll probably have sliding windows similar to the early bus and original Minis, as well as safari windows.
