I've been working the past few weeks on camperizing my 89' Exceed and while I plan on posting a full writeup on the van at some point I figured I'd share a project I started on today I think could be interesting.
I plan on doing a lot of winter camping so decent insulation is key to my not freezing. Unfortunately, the huge and poorly placed sunroof, one of my favorite features of the van, takes up primo insulation/headroom real estate - a premium in my low roof model. My plan is to drop the assembly and figure out a low profile way to permanently affix the sunroof in place. So far I've pulled down the assembly, isolated the glass and it's mounting brackets and cut out a couple cardboard templates of brackets I'm going fab from sheet metal. From here, I'm going to model the brackets in Solidworks and send them off to get cut and bent while I figure out how I'm going to seal this thing.
