Great work Blacky, are you going to use an original screen or laminated to try to cut down?

Probably not Greg, with the lower roofline it won’t line up anyway , the join will be kept close to a fold to keep warpage down to a minimum
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

A bit more progress on this - most of the frame has been redone and the door frames modified to suit - it’s up to me now to grind down a windscreen so John can make the windscreen aperture and then the roof skin can go on.
Check the 2 pics below - you can see the difference to the roofline that is made by sliding the skin back

Re: The loooonnng term EK 2 door project
is it staying with the roof back, what will you do for rear screen? we had to chop mine twice (kind of roof was only sat on to look at it) but yeah had to take more out of the rear to get a humpy look out of the rear of the roof
sometimes yor just better off shitting in yor hands and clapping
