So I decided to do some reverse engineering and built the roof frame on my own.<\/p>\n
Considerations<\/h3>\n
To get a perfectly fitting roof frame I came up with the idea to made it out of the roof of an rusty old Vanagon.<\/p>\n
Here you can see the theoretical steps I considered in 3D (unfortunately the caption is just in german, but I think you can see anyway what’s going on)<\/p>\n

Different to my theoretical plan I made all the welding while the new roof frame was still in the Vanagon – after that I cuted the frame out of the original roof of the Vanagon.<\/p>\n
The following pictures show the practical work:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n Much work to do. You get a perfectly fitting roof frame, but the expenditure of time is quite high. Honestly spoken I don’t know if I would do I once again in that way.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Um meinen Test-Syncro fernreisetauglich zu machen, habe ich beschlossen ihm ein Klappdach zu spendieren.
