    5 Roof

    As per my last thread. I need to get my Raider painted to get finished.

    The car has a sunroof and during its storage at sometime during its life someone has put something heavy on the roof.

    This has pulled a ridge down one side of the roof. One guy who has come to look at the car to give me a quote for painting it said that it 'might' be able to taken out from inside.

    I am wondering if it would be possible to cut the roof off and weald a new one (without a sunroof) on it..

    What do you think guys?

    Tom..
    welding a roof panel on is a job that can be done, not sure you'll get a new one anymore but might even get a good/decent one of a breaker...BUT i would go for a repair first ...just my opinion but could save you hundreds..

    fitting a roof is quite an involved job.the best way to get a new roof is to buy a good standard five and cut the roof off including the pillars
