Re: What to do with this....

Hmm, I thought I posted that you should just replace the roof skin, but something hapened and it didn't make it up. Anyways, with all that rust on it, you'd just be best off to replace it.

Re: What to do with this....

My advice is to wear a bikini next time you take a picture that reflects in the windshield. Actually, you'll either have to rebondo it or replace the skin. Trying to get the contour right by pounding it out would take a serious pro. If you want to wait til next winter, I'll give you my whole roof skin with the sunroof. I'm putting the non-sunroof skin in that I didn't get to last winter. It doesn't look to tough to swap except for taking out the windshield.

Damn board gremlins wouldn't let me put a smiley after my first sentence on my last post or separate it into two paragraphs. Boo.

Throw some Phosphate cleaner on there. It'll eat the rust away no problem, but if it's rusted all the way through the metal, you'll be left with a big hole!

Re: What to do with this....

Sounds like a pain in the ass.

Considering the condition the REST of the car is in, I'm considering get a whole new shell with a 4 bolt. We'll see. thanks for all the help so far

Oh, and Steve... If thats what you are going for, I was washing the car earlier before the picture was taken

Yea I would just find a new shell, or really invest ALOT of time and money into that car if there isnt a whole lot more rust besides the roof and maybe the fenders.

If you drive it in the winter though, the rust comes back fast, even if you fix it... it will probably come back in a couple years.
