the roof is pretty thin actually but there is a couple of sheet metal cross braces that i left in tact. As far as the hatch goes, once i fitted it, it was completely welded to the vehicle. all in all its probably a lot stiffer than is was before. I would like to do a cage before long though

That looks good, on of the better chops in my opinion. Would do the same to mine but would like a removable rear backlight.
