Roof Skin

[James1]

This might sound like a stupid question but I have a MK2 sr whith a sun roof and i was wondering if i could actually remove the roof and put a new one on which didn't have a sun roof in it. :?:

i dunno bout this there may be an easyer way but i THINK u have take the glass out fit a planel weld > filler > smooth > paint,

[Jim]

its a lot of effort. Why do you want to do this? are you trying to lose as much weight as possible? Youre best bet would be to replace the sunrrof and stick a sheet of polycarbonate in it's place instead. I think you'll find if you try welding a sheet of metal in and filling/smoothing etc it'll only crack after time. If you get tinted polycarbonate this should help stop the sun from coming through.

i have seen a carbon fibre roof panel on a civic or somthin. fuck knows how they did it. maybe abit expensive for a nova tho. :lol: :lol:
but i would not weld ur roof it will warp!!

[Hardie]

Il swap you my roof for yours, hows that sound

[Mark]

give Bigruss a PM, he had to fit a new roof skin to the rally car, so they are available

he need sto remove the glass for rallying safety rules i believe, james, just get another sunroof frame remove the galss and tack and smooth a sheet of steel into that then fit it to the car, easiest way it think. i was told ages ago that if u can actually find a maestro with a metal sunroof they fit the nova exactly apparently, btu we have tried aint we james me old mukka! :P

Why do you want rid of it anyway/

[James1]

for the reasons novashed said. Yes we have been looking but cannot find anything. Might just have to be a plate on frame job.

[novashed]

tell you what james, you get a frame (or we both can, which is more likely) and ill weld a plate on it for ya and skim it with filler etc, providing i can fix this shit welder or get a new one, what ya say matey?
