peter evans Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 been busy cutting out my sunroof roof skin for last 10 hrs to take new roofskin which i had from kevin abbot thanks again kev, cut away all frame work on donar roof so i ended up with just the skin after all the cutting and fettling it now fits like a glove, just needs welding up going to try to post some pics for you to see how i did it. no need to brace car to stop any mid point sagging this was a very easy job to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Glad it went well mate Retro power have an article in Retro car mag this month and they do it a very similar way to the way I did mine. You would have to be bonkers to cut through 3 sections of 'a' post and trust it if you did it the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter evans Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 i only removed the skin off my car leaving other two skins intact and the donor roof i removed the two inner skins and im left with only the skin then this was offered up to the existing car and spot welded all round and its a perfect fit so NO cutting through the pillars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
