Well each x-mas break i choose a project to keep me busy, this year is was deleting the sunroof from the probe. Certainly not a fun/interesting project but im sick of it leaking and for some reason i like to torture myself.
1) find a donor roof (from a non sunroof version)
2) remove old sunroof
3) mark out
4) nibble away
5) test fit
6) remove paint (note bog/rust removed in bottom left corner)
7) test fit
8) start the BS welding
points to note:
- i am not an auto-body repair person, i cannot weld well so don't expect a nice next picture!
- i could have sat it flush in the old sunroof hole, i chose to overlap it by approx 10mm.
- the roof curvature appears to be different (the back near the hatch curves off quickly to the sunroof) im not changing this.
- i will paint it myself, if it turns out crap then ill put a wrap over it
- more to come soon.
