Ah nice. Look forward to seeing that.
Phil did my carbon roof on my 3dr Sierra. Never did see the windscreen pillar panels tho..
I don't know how strong the carbon versions will be compared to grp, but be v careful after fitting it as the oem struts are way too powerful for the weight of the boot lid (esp if you're using poly-carb screen) and its really easy to rip your hinges right out of your new bootlid.
Make sure you post plenty of pics when it arrives.
Cheers

Stuuuuuuu ya mad head!
bit of history for ya all, as i put in the general section, there were actually 2 of these shells used in the saloon car champs,peters race cars, both ran 1.6 cvh n/a engines 1 carbed 4 speed, and 1 T/B 5 speed, with a wierd engine mount laying the engine forward, both welded in roll cages and painted in a yellow and blue paint scheme. when i enquired about the car the owner never knew the history, i ended up telling him lol. when i was gunna buy it i was planning to take it back to original paint scheme etc.....
im glad you bought it and cant wait to see the transformation
