The sections for the soft top are available from Suzuki, they were supplied by Bestop but I don't think they support them anymore. The clips are a Suzuki part, I had to replace the passenger side one on mine.

Looking forward to the pics and build.

Bits4vits is always a good bet for mods and some parts. Dave is a nice chap and runs a post office so parts are sent out super fast!

I think monsoon4x4 sell new soft tips and you have a company local to you in Portsmouth called mastercovers who could probably help, they do boat covers and roofs but they also do some Suzuki tops or they could possibly copy/repair your current one.

Yeah it's the clip that holds the bar and rear door seal in place. Do you know what it's called?? If not I'll make one and weld it in place.
In other news does anyone know how I go about uploading some pictures??

Cheers for that scottiej I'll keep that in mind, I plan on changing it I just need the current one to last until I have the funds.

Here is a quick pic, hopefully I have uploaded it right. I was gonna get more pictures done but we had a surprise visit from the wife's sister and her family so didn't get a chance.

Here's some more pics, have had the carpets up and found some rust on the floor pan behind the passenger seat but it's only 2 small patches. Gonna get them cut out and treated and filled over the weekend and give the brakes an overhaul, and have the seats out to remove the carpet and gonna pull out the rear belts for now and the interior panels and trim. The carpet has been soaked and stinks to high heaven to a new one will replace it, it also means that I can check all the floor pan for root. And a massive deep clean of the underside and the interior and the soft top and then the to do list can be made up already have one so not looking forward to adding to it!!
Onwards and upwards.
Would be good to know what you guys think of it. Am a complete noob to zook ownership :D
