Yes, big job I hear you say. Has anyone considerred this? With the amount of scrap D3s around as they have come of age the parts should be easily sourced
The only bit trim wise that I can see is the addition of the controls, and the vents in the C pillars, then all the gibbons is in the left hand cubby.
It's not worth a change of car, I just want Lucky the dog nice and cool.
Currently we drop the middle 2nd row seat.
Any comments welcomed  Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:

Thanks for the fan suggestion, however my opinion is the same as Duncs. The price is also a bit of an indicator as to it's actual effectiveness too I suspect  .....although I have been wrong before
EDIT: you all post too quick - forget the subdued text above, they look absolute CARP!!! Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:

If you can buy all the parts you need at a good price & are able to tackle the job yourself (braver man than me), then maybe. Otherwise I'd say the labour charges would make it hugely expensive.

I recall that the ducting goes across the roof, so its a headlining out job just for that bit, then you've got all the airbag stuff in the pillars and roof lining - not sure its worth it really
