Interesting. Never thought of doing that before and never seen anything around here like that.landiman wrote:The last owner fitted a 88" hard top which was surplus in a workshop in Kuwait, The hard top was originally taken off an 88 that was destined for the Kuwaiti army as they only run soft top's. It's not a bad conversion and works quite well...... i spotted another with this conversion in a classified advert last week, so it's not the only one.
I thought it might have been a muff or something. Again, we never see things like that around here cos it usually doesn't get cold enough. I vaguely remember there being a LR muff that attached to the front grill. It had a mid section that had dome clips that you could use to open or close the muff.landiman wrote:As for the thing hanging from the grille i think it's the last owners attempt at a radiator muff... it's not on there now, but i've had to make another from plastic for running in the cold weather here. A couple of weeks ago we had a lot of snow and as i'm part of a 4x4 i was running about in the bad weather freezing my bits off cos the temp gauge never got off cold. After fitting my rad muff it warmed up lovely.
