Looks great and you can still buy those 1960's type roof racks with the plastic sucker feet from MiniMail I believe? :proud:

I'm glad u like the roof rack :proud: I noticed that similar roof rackets are made for vw beetle (ok, i admit it, i got the wood idea from there) and if you buy new one, those cost something like way over 200$ :genius: . And that one has cost me just 20€ to make :closed:
