I used these pics that I found online as reference and inspiration for the build along with the roof rack idea :thumbup:

Thank you tankgirl :D that's one of the things I find enjoyable about the hobby, planning and figuring out solutions for non-kit builds, it keeps the ol grey matter ticking over :thumbup:

Cheers, Lee.
