Sorry I think I missed a bit of your post and didn't read the last paragraphs.
As for that being the best you'll find in the U.K....not at all there are a few mint and stock Lj80 tin tops about, not many though
Hopefully one day the right one will pop up when I have space for a resto, I have a complete van side panel waiting (if we don't use it on the soft top)
Yeah the hard part is finding any good lj for sale.....I would seriously look into importing one if you really want one, will be much easier to find a decent one.
I'm not doing any more builds for anyone until the Lj80 and Lwb are finished I'm afraid. I've spent the last 5 years building vehicles for other people and it's time my projects took priority otherwise they will never get done
