look what we found! mk1 fiesta update 29/05 new roof skin, pic heavy thread
was driving past this for a while so i told my mate paul81 off here and he looked at it an see the potential, he was originally after a mk2 but was soon convinced otherwise, i wont mention any plans as i kno he has a few nice one off touches he wants to keep to himself until finished but im sure we will add some pics of progress that dont give away too much
anyway we picked it up today an here it is..........
its a 950 pop plus an all im sayin is it will be far from standard when finished

Hi all well as you no we found a nice little 950 pop plus for good money we striped it out yesterday if it wasnt for the fact it had a sunroof it would be mint but as it stands we will have to replace the two front floorpans and need to sort out a bit in the boot where the water tank was fitted as its started to go there to an we are goin to need to sort out the roof as well witch is quite bad as there gotta be about a 10mm X 200mm hole along the edge of the sunroof but apart from that it was wax oiled from new so the rest is mint

well after an extensive search we failed to find a replacement roofskin but paul did manage to pick up a second hand one already chopped off the car so yesterday we set about removing the skin from it and what a fookin job it was too well we cracked on an finally took about 7 hours to carefully take it off,
what we ideally need now is some guidance from u good folk on how to remove the skin from the car without causing any damage
any help much appreciated
liam
ps ill get paul to add some pics of us removing the new roof skin later
