Suzuki Club UK

Hi all,

This is my, first post as i just discovered this forum.
I'm currently living in Malta an i few month ago i bought a Maruti/Suzuki Gypsy soft top ( long wheel)
I apologies in advance for my eventual English mistakes cause i'm French.

About the car, As i said before, it's a Maruti Gypsy (i'll add pics during the week) . I think Malta is the only country where it's sold in Eu. I unfortunately don't know the original engine, but the unloaded propeller has been replaced by a Toyota 1.5 diesel. This modification looks usual Here. One of my friends has a Samurai with the same engine inside.

The car is currently White and conform to the original (except the engine)
My 1st action was to replace the fan by a more efficient one : Maltese Sun + carjam = over heating
I also had to replace the rear differential after two month of use.

My project so far is to remove the big soft top to a smaller one who could just close the cabin and remove the "cage" rollbar to add something who could more looks like a real all road roll bar.

So, My first question, Is somebody know a web site who allow me to order a soft top for my gypsy ?
