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

So Blacky finding another roof and cutting the two ends so there is only one join an option ?

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

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

Your right mate roof looks much better in the second photo slid back.

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

Went and picked up another donor roof last weekend- it’s not the best though…..

Then did a bit of burning off before the rain comes -

I’ve got a fairly good roof here. It has a bit of rust here and there in the frame. I’m about ready to take it to the tip. Happy to cut out the bit you need and bring over.

Clay, do you still have that roof cut or has it gone to become a Chery or a BYD or some other such horrible fate ???
