how big a job to remove/fit a compact roof skin? only reason i ask is there's alot of sunroof cars out there. your idea's??!!

I was wondering how much of a job it would be. I have decided to just rivet a plate over, its not pretty but its effective. its the cheapest and simplest solution

We looked at it Dave.

When I say 'we', I mean I asked a bloke who knows what he's doing with rally car shells to look at it.

'We' were considering taking the sunroof'd roof off the red compact to replace the Sparco rubbish with a properly fitted weld-in cage, while I used the blue car....

As you know - 'we' crashed it instead to save the hassle.

It wasn't viewed as being a major issue, sourcing a straight replacement roof skin might be, tho?

Why don't you offer more than £6.37 for notax's rolling shell and sell the bolt-in cage?

just an idea, can't see the problem as it's a straight forward panel with no pillar work. but the cost of the panel might kill off the idea and maybe easier to find a non sunroof model??

don't need a roof panel now!!
