Tent rebuild idea

Thanx Drew for the old Caddis
The fly has seen better days and reproofing wont be possible
The rest of the tent tho is in very good condition and I was thinking about using the existing fly as a pattern for making a new one and my brain went "CLICK"
These tents make very good use of space but the centre pole was and is LW and mates often added a double pin and used 2 centre poles when snow camping to counter that [ extra pole clips being so easy to add on]
What about deconstructing the whole tent by cutting it in half and adding in 600mm or so and turning it into a 4 pole tunnel?
Too many existing projects but I think this idea has possibilities
